Modeling Urban Traffic Heat Flux in the Community Earth System Model: Formulation and Validation for Two Test Sites

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Vehicular traffic is a major contributor to anthropogenic heat flux (AHF) in urban areas, amplifying urban heat island effects. However, few Earth system models explicitly represent traffic conditions and their associated heat emissions. This study introduces a new urban traffic module into the Community Earth System Model (CESM), enabling ...

A cross-analysis matrix comparing multi-site Local Climate Zone trends: Application to identify sustainable built morphologies improving summer daytime urban microclimate

Sustainable Futures
Sustainable urban planning must address multi-criteria issues, like urban heat island and outdoor thermal comfort. The Local Climate Zone (LCZ) classification links microclimatic measurements with morphological metadata, but multi-site comparisons are ...

Regions of Climatic Stability for Neotropical Primates

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
Spatial distribution of climatic stability, endemism, and model uncertainty for Neotropical primates. The left panel depicts projected climatic stability (warm colours = higher proportion of species with persistent climatic suitability; cool colours = lower stability). The upper‐right panel shows endemism (warm colours = higher concentration of endemic

Investigating the relationship between Local Climate Zone and land surface temperature

, 2017
© 2017 IEEE. The concept of Local Climate Zone (LCZ) has been developed to quantify the correlation between urban morphology and urban heat island (UHI). Each LCZ is supposed to have homogenous air temperature.

Toward Sub-Kilometer-Scale WRF-UCM Modeling of Winter Urban Climate: A Case Study of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, on Extreme Local Climate and Thermal Environments

Atmosphere
Cities create their own local climate, and numerical weather models can reproduce it if given an accurate picture of the urban surface. The local climate zone (LCZ) framework classifies neighborhoods by building height, density, and materials and ...

Evaluation of Six Local Climate Zones Mapping Methods to Determine the Most Accurate LCZ Classification Method for UHI Studies: The Case Study of Kuala Lumpur and Singapore

Transactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban heat islands (UHIs) pose a significant environmental issue in rapidly urbanizing areas, intensifying the need for accurate methods to assess and mitigate their effects. The Local Climate Zones (LCZ) classification system is a standardized land use approach for urban heat island (UHI) research.
