Characterising City Scale Heat Climatology for Australian Climate Zones

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 11, September 2026.
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect in Australian cities peaks at night, intensifying under dry conditions, clear skies, increased solar radiation, and low wind speeds. Long‐term observations show that nighttime temperatures in major cities have warmed faster than their rural surroundings and future climate projections fail to capture this disparity ...

A Systematic Review of Urban Form: Knowledge and Opportunities

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding global research trajectories in urban form is critical for sustainable urbanization, yet a comprehensive synthesis is lacking. Evaluating 6,147 publications from Web of Science and Scopus (1999–2024) using bibliometric methods, this study maps the evolution, core themes, and geographical distribution of the field.

The Urban Building Community Model for Earth System Modeling: Model Formulation and Evaluation

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract A new urban canopy model is presented. Unlike the two‐dimensional (2D) canyon assumption used in most urban canopy models, this model proposes a three‐dimensional (3D) building community conceptualization. A key parameter, the building height‐to‐side‐length ratio (H/L), is introduced to replace the canyon height‐to‐width ratio (H/W) used in ...

Sensitivity of Local Climate Zones and Urban Functional Zones to Multi-Scenario Surface Urban Heat Islands

Remote Sensing
Local climate zones (LCZs) and urban functional zones (UFZs) can intricately depict the multidimensional spatial elements of cities, offering a comprehensive perspective for understanding the surface urban heat island (SUHI) effect.

The Urban Building Community Model for Earth System Modeling: Data and Comprehensive Evaluation

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The urban building community model is an urban component of the Common Land Model (CoLM‐UBCM) designed for weather and Earth system modeling, supporting high‐resolution simulations from the meso to the global scale. In this study, a comprehensive global 500 m data set for urban canopy models is developed and implemented in CoLM‐UBCM, and the ...

On the fusion strategies of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data for local climate zone classification [PDF]

, 2020
Local Climate Zone (LCZ) classification is the most commonly used scheme to analyze how local urban morphology affects the climate of local areas. Classification methods are often based on remote sensing data or on a fusion of several data sources.

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 ...

Investigating the relationship between local climate zone and land surface temperature using an improved WUDAPT methodology – A case study of Yangtze River Delta, China

, 2018
© 2017 Elsevier B.V. The concept of Local Climate Zone (LCZ) was developed to quantify the relationship between urban morphology and urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon. Each LCZ is supposed to represent homogeneous air temperature.
