Mapping Large-Scale Local Climate Zones From High-Resolution Multiview Satellite Imagery

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Large-scale and reliable local climate zone (LCZ) information is crucial for the study of urban climate, such as urban heat island. Existing research for LCZ generation predominantly relies on planar information derived from single-view medium-resolution

Defining and Verifying New Local Climate Zones with Three-Dimensional Built Environments and Urban Metabolism

Land
The urban heat island (UHI) effect, where the temperature in an urban area is higher than in the surrounding rural areas, is becoming a major concern. The concept of a Local Climate Zone (LCZ) system was devised to provide an objective framework for UHI ...

Local Climate Zone Mapping by Integrating Hyperspectral and Multispectral Data with a Spectral–Spatial Fusion Network

Remote Sensing
Local Climate Zone (LCZ) classification provides a standardized framework for characterizing urban morphology and its climatic implications. However, most existing remote sensing-based LCZ mapping methods rely on pixel-level classification and ...

Impact of urban climate landscape patterns on thermal environment in local climate zones of Bhopal City

Computational Urban Science
Local Climate Zones (LCZs) exhibit distinct thermal environments, yet their spatial configuration also governs local heat dynamics. This study examines the relationship between LCZ landscape patterns and Land Surface Temperature (LST) in Bhopal, India ...
