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.

A Case Study on Urban Ventilation Assessment with Local Climate Zone (LCZ) Parameters
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 Abstract The local climate zone (LCZ) partitions are widely used in urban climate investigations. Parameters characterizing LCZ types could be used in investigations about urban heat island (UHI) intensity and air ventilation modelling and assessment.

Performance Evaluation of Built Environment in Local Climate Zones [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2022 The thermal performance of a building is significantly influenced by the climate around it. It is observed that the microclimate of an urban area is notably different from that of the surrounding regions.

Characterization of an urban area in the legal Amazon using Local Climate Zones (LCZ)
Revista Nacional de Gerenciamento de Cidades, 2023 The growth of agricultural production and the internalization of the industrial sector has led to a significant increase in the populations of small and medium-sized towns in the Midwest region of Brazil. This movement increases the demand for a built environment and promotes the anthropization of the landscape in these cities, altering the ecosystem ...

The 5th International Electronic Conference on Atmospheric Sciences, 2022 LCZs refer to a classification system that exists out of 17 classes, 10 of which can be describedas urban, proposed as the new standard for characterizing and comparing urban landscapes. Thisstudy evaluates the reliability of the LCZ level 0 map obtained from WUDAPT by comparingit with a more detailed LCZ map inferred from the morphological information
