Mapeando a morfologia urbana: aplicações do método Local Climate Zones (LCZ) em diferentes escalas do projeto

PosFAUUSP, 2023
Este artigo visa demonstrar o potencial do método de mapeamento Local Climate Zones (LCZ) aplicado a duas pesquisas urbanas com objetivos e escalas distintas. Originalmente desenvolvido para estudos de clima urbano, o método é aqui explorado em sua aplicação original e em estudos de alterações da cobertura vegetal urbana em uma Região Metropolitana e ...

Coupling Dual Graph Convolution Network and Residual Network for Local Climate Zone Mapping

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2022
Local climate zone (LCZ) has become a new standard classification scheme in urban landscapes and showed great potential in urban climate research. Traditional classifiers and ordinary neural networks only consider the spectral or local spatial features ...

A Structured Literature Review of the Application of Local Climate Zones (LCZ) in Urban Climate Modelling

Earth
Local Climate Zones (LCZs) have become a foundational framework for urban climate modeling, yet their use across model families has not been systematically evaluated. Crucially, the LCZ framework itself has served as a developmental basis, revealing the progression of urban canopy parameterizations (UCP) from early models to the diverse model families ...

Mapping Local Climate Zones (LCZ) Change in the 5 Largest Cities of Switzerland

Urban Science
In the face of climate change and population growth, Local Climate Zone (LCZ) maps have emerged as crucial tools for urban planners and policymakers to address Urban Heat Island (UHI) effects, thereby playing a significant role in mitigating climate change.

Fragmentation Across Scales, Geography, and Climate Challenges in European Urban Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Research: A Bibliometric and Systematic Review

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European urban climate change research lacks integration across scales, geography, and climate challenges, despite Europe's coordinated policy frameworks. Through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review of 1528 studies (2010–2025) using Cortext Manager and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study maps the conceptual patterns, knowledge gaps, and

A climate‐sensitive tropical urbanism under extreme heat†

Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, EarlyView.
Tropical urban dwellers face twin climate challenges that impinge on their quality of life: climate overheating and the urban heat island (UHI). The latter superimposed on the former to lead to high levels of thermal discomfort, carbon and energy consequences.

Urban heat dynamics in Local Climate Zones (LCZs): A systematic review

Building and Environment
Urban Heat Islands (UHIs) present significant challenges for urban areas worldwide, impacting public health and the overall livability of cities. This systematic literature review explores UHI effects across different Local Climate Zones (LCZs) and suggests mitigation strategies.

Multi‐Source Data‐Driven Downscaling and Bias Correction of ERA5‐Land Near‐Surface Air Temperature Over Complex Terrain

Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
A statistical downscaling and bias‐correction workflow was developed for daily ERA5‐Land near‐surface air temperature over Sichuan Province using station observations, high‐resolution land‐surface predictors, and RDAPs. BO‐RF and RS‐LSTM with RDAPs performed best, reducing station‐level RMSE relative to ERA5‐Land at over 97% of independent validation ...
