Assessing Impacts of Surrounding Building on Glare Risk Across Local Climate Zones

JAPAN ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW, Volume 9, Issue 1, January–December 2026.
ABSTRACT Daylighting performance in cities is shaped by surrounding urban form, yet the influence of Local Climate Zones (LCZs) on glare prediction remains largely unexamined. This study applies the LCZ framework to investigate how urban morphology affects visual comfort using spatial disturbing glare (sDG).

A 3-dimension urban growth analysis using local climate zone mapping

GIScience & Remote Sensing
To comprehend urban evolution, it is necessary to investigate changes in urban land in megacities. However, volumetric expansion has not been well studied.

Whirlwinds in Ladakh, India: An Initial Assessment of ARW‐WRF Performance

Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
First‐ever visual evidence of whirlwinds in the Himalayan Ladakh region is presented. Whirlwinds were photographically captured in Stok, Choglamsar, and Nubra valleys in Ladakh, India, in June 2018. It is estimated that the spatial extent of these whirlwinds was ~50 m2, vertical extent ~0.5–1 km, and lasted for ~15 min. Local communities were concerned

Issues and challenges of remote sensing-based local climate zone mapping for high-density cities

, 2017
© 2017 IEEE. The local climate zone (LCZ) classification system provides a standard organizing principle for urban climate studies, such as urban heat island analysis, in which urban structures are classified into 17 standard LCZ classes according to ...

Unravelling indoor temperature response to summer heat through long‐term crowdsourced observations in Dutch residences

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 152, Issue 775, January 2026 Part B.
This study analysed and modelled summertime indoor temperature dynamics in the Netherlands using a unique long‐term crowdsourced dataset from seven residences (spanning 2–27 years). Indoor temperatures were found to rise and cool more slowly than outdoors (mean 260 minute lag), with heatwave signals persisting about five days.

Identificação de 'Local climate zones' (LCZ's) no concelho do Porto

, 2017
Neste trabalho, propomo-nos a identificar as local climate zones (LCZs) no concelho do Porto e a testar a sua sensibilidade às variações intraurbanas do risco para a saúde dos seres humanos durante episódios extremos de temperatura. Para tal, começamos por identificar as LCZs seguindo a metodologia proposta na plataforma WUDAPT.

Local Climate Zone Classification Scheme Can Also Indicate Local-Scale Urban Ventilation Performance: An Evidence-Based Study

Atmosphere, 2020
Studies on urban ventilation indicate that urban ventilation performance is highly dependent on urban morphology. Some studies have linked local-scale urban ventilation performance with the local climate zone (LCZ) that is proposed for surface ...

Regulating Effects of Blue–Green Spaces on Land Surface Temperature Based on Local Climate Zones: A Case Study of Suzhou (2000–2022)

Land
Rapid urbanization has intensified urban surface thermal stress, yet how blue–green spaces (BGs) are associated with land surface temperature (LST) under different urban morphological contexts remains insufficiently understood.

Assessment of Local Climate Zone Products via Simplified Classification Rule with 3D Building Maps [PDF]

, 2023
This study assesses the performance of a global Local Climate Zone (LCZ) product. We examined the built-type classes of LCZs in three major metropolitan areas within the U.S.
