Local Climate Zones Classification Applied to a Brazilian Amazon City

Urban Science
Urban elements influence atmospheric flow, turbulence, and the local microclimate, modifying the transport and composition of pollutants. However, although this focus on cities is crucial for managing climate change, our knowledge of most cities in the ...

Investigating local climate zones for outdoor thermal comfort assessment in an Indian city [PDF]

Geographica Pannonica, 2019
The rapid growth of development and urbanization in the Indian subcontinents has made the urban areas vulnerable to outdoor thermal discomfort (OTC) which is in turn affecting the quality of living in these areas.

Classification of urban underlying surfaces in Beijing and its impact on summer high temperature and heat wave event

Atmospheric Science Letters
With analysis of local climate zone (LCZ) classification, approximately 52.0% of underlying surfaces in Beijing are covered by buildings with LCZ 5 (open midrise) accounting for the highest proportion, and LCZ D (low plants) is the most distributed among

Comparing Characteristics of the Urban Thermal Environment Based on the Local Climate Zone in Three Chinese Metropolises

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information
Urban landscape has important effects on urban climate, and the local climate zone (LCZ) framework has been widely applied in related studies. However, few studies have compared the relative contributions of LCZ on the urban thermal environment across ...

USING LOCAL CLIMATE ZONE (LCZ) TO STUDY THE URBAN HEAT ISLAND AT CITY LEVEL- A CASE STUDY OF AHMEDABAD

International Journal of Advanced Research
Increased temperature in urban areas brings about various problems and thermal discomfort. Many studies focused on detecting the effects of land cover patterns on Land Surface Temperature (LST) using satellite imagery and subjective study (Peoples perception) of the thermal environment. A very limited number of studies (Kim et al., 2021) (Stewart &

Mapping Large-Scale Local Climate Zones From High-Resolution Multiview Satellite Imagery

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Large-scale and reliable local climate zone (LCZ) information is crucial for the study of urban climate, such as urban heat island. Existing research for LCZ generation predominantly relies on planar information derived from single-view medium-resolution

Spatiotemporal Local Climate Zone (LCZ) dan Hubungannya dengan Fenomena Urban Heat Island (UHI) di Kawasan Universitas Diponegoro Tembalang

Jurnal Ilmu Lingkungan
Transformasi spasial yang pesat akibat ekspansi kampus telah membentuk ulang morfologi kawasan Undip Tembalang dan berpotensi memperkuat efek UHI lokal. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji perubahan spasio-temporal LCZ serta hubungannya dengan LST untuk memahami bagaimana proses Studentifikasi memengaruhi iklim mikro kampus.
