PosFAUUSP, 2023 Este artigo visa demonstrar o potencial do método de mapeamento Local Climate Zones (LCZ) aplicado a duas pesquisas urbanas com objetivos e escalas distintas. Originalmente desenvolvido para estudos de clima urbano, o método é aqui explorado em sua aplicação original e em estudos de alterações da cobertura vegetal urbana em uma Região Metropolitana e ...

Land, 2022 Along with urbanization, surface urban heat island (SUHI) has attracted more attention. Due to the lack of perspective of spatial heterogeneity in relevant studies, it is difficult to propose specific strategies to alleviate the SUHI.

Coupling Dual Graph Convolution Network and Residual Network for Local Climate Zone Mapping
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2022 Local climate zone (LCZ) has become a new standard classification scheme in urban landscapes and showed great potential in urban climate research. Traditional classifiers and ordinary neural networks only consider the spectral or local spatial features ...

Analyzing the Characteristics of UHI (Urban Heat Island) in Summer Daytime Based on Observations on 50 Sites in 11 LCZ (Local Climate Zone) Types in Xi’an, China [PDF]
Sustainability, 2020 Urbanization has induced significant changes on local climate in urban areas. For sustainable urban planning, it is necessary to identify the distribution characteristics of urban heat island (UHI) and the effects of land cover properties. In situ measurements are frequently carried out to obtain critical data in urban climate studies.

EarthLocal Climate Zones (LCZs) have become a foundational framework for urban climate modeling, yet their use across model families has not been systematically evaluated. Crucially, the LCZ framework itself has served as a developmental basis, revealing the progression of urban canopy parameterizations (UCP) from early models to the diverse model families ...
