Results on LCZ sequences and quadratic forms

, 2020
In this thesis we study low correlation zone (LCZ) sequence sets and a class of quadratic forms.In the first part we obtain two new classes of optimal LCZ sequence sets. In our first construction using a suitable orthogonal transformation we extend some results of [21].

Local Climate Zone (LCZ) Map Accuracy Assessments Should Account for Land Cover Physical Characteristics that Affect the Local Thermal Environment

, 2019
Local climate zone (LCZ) maps are increasingly being used to help understand and model the urban microclimate, but traditional land use/land cover map (LULC) accuracy assessment approaches do not convey the accuracy at which LCZ maps depict the local ...
