Investigating thermal behavior pattern (TBP) of local climatic zones (LCZs): A study on industrial cities of Asansol-Durgapur development area (ADDA), eastern India

Urban Climate, 2021
Abstract Local climatic zones (LCZs) is a comprehensive and micro level land use classification system originally developed to quantify the relation between urban heat island (UHI) and urban morphological pattern. Assessment thermal behavior pattern (TBP) of LCZ can contribute to quantify potential heat stress and health risks.

Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis on Urban Heat Island Intensity Using the Local Climate Zone (LCZ) Schema: The Case Study of Athens

2023
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon commonly occurs in cities worldwide and may affect the health of millions of people, especially during heatwaves. To design and propose mitigation strategies, accurate urban microclimate simulation tools are needed but retrieving information for creating reliable models is often challenging.

Predictive modeling the effect of Local Climate Zones (LCZ) on the urban meteorology in a tropical andean area

Modeling Earth Systems and Environment
The Weather Research & Forecasting Model (WRF, Version 4.4) was applied to simulate meteorological conditions in the city of Quito, Ecuador, located in a tropical Andean landscape. These simulations included the urban canopy into WRF, using the Building Environment Parameterization (BEP) scheme combined with Local Climate Zones (LCZ) land use ...

Thermo-hygrometric characteristics of Local Climate Zones (LCZs) in the primary urban areas of north-eastern Romania investigated through multivariate tools

2023
In this research, we outline the main thermo-hygrometric characteristics of local climate zones (LCZs) identified in four of the largest cities in north-eastern Romania (Iași, Bacău, Botoșani, and Suceava), which together have a population of over 1 million inhabitants.

3D Local Climate Zone (LCZ) Modeling and Digital Twin Integration for Advanced Climate Resilience using AI

Local Climate Zones (LCZs) provide a standardized classification of urban morphology and climate interactions, yet traditional 2D representations lack spatial depth for comprehensive urban climate analysis. This research proposes an innovative approach that integrates urban remote sensing , AI-driven 3D modeling, and state-of-the-art Digital Twin ...

Estimation of Ecosystem Services (EESs) loss due to transformation of Local Climatic Zones (LCZs) in Sriniketan-Santiniketan Planning Area (SSPA)West Bengal, India

Sustainable Cities and Society, 2019
Abstract Accessing the impact of land use/land cover dynamics on the Ecosystem Service Values (ESVs) is necessary for sustainable development at regional and global scale. Estimation of changes in Ecosystem service value (ESV) in response to local climatic zones (LCZs) are performed using GIS technique and corresponding with the global value ...

Effect of local climate zone morphology on ventilation availability and thermal performance

Advances in Building Energy Research
In urban areas, the constantly altering morphological environment gives rise to a local thermal environment significantly different from the climate of surrounding areas. This study uses the Local Climate Zone (LCZ) classification system to analyse these
