Teaser Local Climate Zone maps extracted from the global map of Local Climate Zones.

, 2022
Local Climate Zone teaser maps for the 15 largest functional urban areas stratified by urban ecoregion. The data is extracted from the global 100 m spatial resolution LCZ map, and is used to plot Figures 5, 6 and 7 of Demuzere et al. (2022a).

Spatiotemporal Characteristics of the Surface Urban Heat Island and Its Driving Factors Based on Local Climate Zones and Population in Beijing, China

Atmosphere, 2021
The increasing degree of urbanization has continuously aggravated the surface urban heat island (sUHI) effect in China. To investigate the correlation between spatiotemporal changes of sUHI and urbanization in Beijing, land surface temperature in summer ...

Thermal Contribution of the Local Climate Zone and Its Spatial Distribution Effect on Land Surface Temperature in Different Macroclimate Cities

Remote Sensing, 2022
Local climate zones (LCZs) provide a comprehensive framework to examine surface urban heat islands (SUHIs), but information is lacking on their thermal contributions and spatial effects in different macroclimate cities.

Local Climate Zone mapping using GIS methods in Szeged

Hungarian Geographical Bulletin, 2014
Owing to anthropogenic activity, local climate develops in the area of built-up zones. The characteristics of built-up zones can be quantified by different methods. One of the methods is the Local Climate Zones (LCZ) classification system which describes

Local Climate Zones to Identify Surface Urban Heat Islands: A Systematic Review

Remote Sensing, 2023
The Land Surface Temperature (LST) obtained by remote sensing data is an essential indicator for analyzing the Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI). A factor contributing to its occurrence is the reflections of the different materials in urban and rural ...

Local Climate Zones in Tropical Urban Environments: A Review

Forum Geografi
Local climate zones (LCZs) were originally proposed to redefine the rural–urban dichotomy, while providing a standardised framework for urban heat island (UHI) studies worldwide. The UHI phenomenon, characterised by rising land surface temperature (LST),
