Multilevel ensembling for local climate zones classification
2017 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2017This paper presents an end-to-end system for automatic local climate zones classification of various types of urban environment. For that we perform fusion of multispectral images from Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 satellites with site description extracted from OpenStreetMap layers.

Thermal evaluation of the local climate zone scheme in Belgium
2017 Joint Urban Remote Sensing Event (JURSE), 2017Global warming and the increasing world population will only put more pressure on the living conditions in urban environments. From a thermal comfort point of view, it is clear that there is a need for sustainable urban planning in which the thermal behavior of new developments can be accounted for.

Mapping of local climate zones of Moscow city
Geodesy and Cartography, 2018Local climatic zones are areas with a uniform land cover, structure, materials and a specific character of human activity, which have a special type of interaction with the surface layer of the atmosphere. Allocating climatic zones in cities provides possibility to reduce various combinations of built-up and land cover to a limited number of classes ...

Global transferability of local climate zone models
Urban Climate, 2019Abstract Using the cloud-computing resources of Google's Earth Engine (EE) and a range of satellite sensors (input features) this paper for the first time explores the potential of up-scaling the current Local Climate Zone mapping efforts to regional and global scales.

Urban climate and local climate zone classification in the city of Kochi in India
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2020Rapid growth in urbanization significantly alters the natural environments and lead to distinct urban climates. This development leads to Urban Heat Island Effect (UHI), the phenomenon of elevate temperature within the urban area with respect to adjoining rural areas.

Exploring Sentinel-L Data for Local Climate Zone Classification
IGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2018Local climate zone (LCZ) is a categorical scheme describing the morphology of urban area, which is a valuable not only for the original purpose of temperature study, but also for other urban oriented studies like population density estimation and economical development monitoring.

Local climate zones and annual surface thermal response in a Mediterranean city
2017 Joint Urban Remote Sensing Event (JURSE), 2017Beirut, a densely populated city along the Mediterranean coastline, has been witnessing temperature records well above thermal comfort levels especially during the past decade. The significant effect of existing urbanised materials on these rising urban temperatures has been verified through the previous modeling of the urban heat island phenomenon ...

Exploiting Earth Observation data products for mapping Local Climate Zones
2015 Joint Urban Remote Sensing Event (JURSE), 2015Earth Observation (EO) systems and the advances in remote sensing technology increase the opportunities for monitoring the thermal behaviour of cities. Several parameters related to the urban climate can be quantified from EO data products, providing valuable support for advanced urban studies and climate modelling.

Human thermal comfort in Local climate zones of Berlin
2020<p>Urban areas show higher nocturnal temperature comparing to rural areas, which is denoted by urban heat island. This effect can intensify the impact of global warming in urban areas especially during heat waves, that leads to higher energy demand for cooling the building and higher thermal stress for residents.&#160 ...
