Estimating summertime heat stress in a tropical Indian city using Local Climate Zone (LCZ) framework
Urban Climate, 2021Abstract The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report highlights the projected increase in heat wave (HW) frequency, intensity, and duration. Globally, HW events have caused massive deaths in the past. India has also experienced severe HWs and thousands have reportedly died during the past decade. The study uses the Local Climate Zone (

Global climate change and rapid urbanization are driving microclimate variations in urban areas, intensifying the formation of urban heat islands (UHIs) vulnerable to extreme weather. The local climate zone (LCZ) framework, using remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS), has advanced with the World Urban Database and Access Portal ...

LCZ Generator: online tool to create Local Climate Zone maps
2021<p>Since their introduction in 2012, Local Climate Zones (LCZs) emerged as a new standard for characterising urban landscapes, providing a holistic classification approach that takes into account micro-scale land-cover and associated physical properties. In 2015, as part of the community-based World Urban Database and Access Portal Tools (

Modeling the urban thermal environment distributions in Taipei Basin using Local Climate Zone (LCZ)
2017 Joint Urban Remote Sensing Event (JURSE), 2017This study aims to develop a model for predicting thermal distribution in cities based on urban development patterns. Featured by the process of urbanization and land use policy, built environments are varied in land cover, density, building height, and usage. This study applied the classification scheme of Local Climate Zones (LCZs) to categorize land

Abstract The acceleration of urbanization has caused the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon because it has changed the built and natural structure. In recent years, the common concept of a local climate zone (LCZ) has become the top priority for UHI studies for eliminating the lack of standardization.

Abstract The Metropolitan Area of Sao Paulo (MASP) is the 6th largest metropolitan area in the world. Mobile sources are responsible for the emissions of gaseous and particle involved in the formation of secondary pollutants, such as ozone, which is frequently in concentrations above air quality standards.
