Warming and cooling effects of local climate zones on urban thermal environment

Frontiers in Public Health, 2022
Understanding the thermal characteristics and contribution ranking of local climate zones (LCZs) is essential since they can help in maintaining environmental harmony. However, previous studies only considered independent effects and could not analyze the combined effects of LCZ on land surface temperature (LST).

Earth Observation for Urban Climate: Mapping the Local Climate Zones [PDF]

, 2015
collected by Earth Observation (EO) satellites provide a valuable source of information for understanding, monitoring, modelling and thus protecting the urban environment. The increasing availability of EO systems and the advances in remote sensing techniques increase the opportunities for monitoring the urban environment and its thermal behaviour ...

Soil Inorganic Electron Acceptors and Carbon Substrates Hierarchically Govern Wetland Methanogenesis Temperature Response

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wetlands constitute Earth's largest natural methane (CH4) source, yet projections of their climate feedback remain uncertain due to poorly constrained temperature sensitivity (Q10‐CH4) of microbial methanogenesis. While water table dynamics have been demonstrated to regulate wetland methanogenesis by altering key soil conditions such as ...

Contributing to WUDAPT: A Local Climate Zone Classification of Two Cities in Ukraine [PDF]

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2016
Local climate zones (LCZs) divide the urban landscape into homogeneous types based on urban structure (i.e., morphology of streets and buildings), urban cover (i.e., permeability of surfaces), construction materials, and human activities (i.e., anthropogenic heat).
