Identifying research progress, focuses, and prospects of local climate zone (LCZ) using bibliometrics and critical reviews [PDF]
Heliyon, 2023 The local climate zone (LCZ) has been an important land surface classification used to differentiate urban climate between localities. The general knowledge maps of LCZ studies are needed when LCZ-related research has attracted great attention.

Quantifying Urban Morphology-Induced Uncertainty in Urban Meteorology and Heat Stress Simulations in Southern California. [PDF]
J Geophys Res AtmosAbstract Accurate representation of land use and urban morphological parameters (UMPs), particularly building height, road width, and roof width, is critical for urban climate/weather modeling. The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) coupled with the Single‐Layer Urban Canopy Model (SLUCM) has been widely used; however, few studies have quantified ...

EVALUATION OF THE SEASONAL NIGHTTIME LST-AIR TEMPERATURE DISCREPANCIES AND THEIR RELATION TO LOCAL CLIMATE ZONES (LCZ) IN STRASBOURG [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2021 Abstract. More and more uses and applications are being given to local climate zone (LCZ) maps, which describe the structure of the urban and semi-urban areas. Among others, it is worth highlighting its use in studies of urban heat islands (UHI), sustainability and urban energy balance.
