Exploring How Street-Level Images Help Enhance Remote-Sensing-Based Local Climate Zone Mapping
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2023 The local climate zone (LCZ) classification scheme is effective for climatic studies, and thus, timely and accurate LCZ mapping becomes critical for scientific climate research. Remote sensing images can efficiently capture the information of large-scale

A Literature Survey of Local Climate Zone Classification: Status, Application, and Prospect
Buildings, 2022 Rapid urban expansion and climate change have prompted further investigations into urban thermal climates and the development of local climate zone (LCZ) classification systems. LCZs, proposed 10 years ago, comprise a new and systematic classification of

Investigating surface UHI using local climate zones (LCZs), the case study of Cairo’s River Islands
Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2023 The spatial configuration of the built environment influences the thermal behaviour at the local level and may generate the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon. This impact has been investigated through several physical and climatological approaches. In this respect, the local climate zones (LCZs) scheme is recently adopted to facilitate the spatial ...
