Numerical Simulation with Local Climate Zones of Urban Heat Island in the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de MeteorologiaThe urban heat island (UHI) is a well-known consequence of urbanization on local climate. This study investigates the UHI in the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo (MASP), focusing on urban morphology and meteorological conditions.

Local Climate Zone (LCZ) Map Accuracy Assessments Should Account for Land Cover Physical Characteristics that Affect the Local Thermal Environment [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2019 Local climate zone (LCZ) maps are increasingly being used to help understand and model the urban microclimate, but traditional land use/land cover map (LULC) accuracy assessment approaches do not convey the accuracy at which LCZ maps depict the local thermal environment.

Urban heat island analysis using the ‘local climate zone’ scheme in Presidente Prudente, Brazil
Investigaciones Geográficas, 2018 Although urban heat islands (UHIs) have been widely studied, a recent climate-based classification of urban and rural landscapes provides a new framework for UHI researchers.

Remote Sensing, 2016 The main factors influencing the spatiotemporal variability of urban climate are quite widely recognized, including, for example, the thermal properties of materials used for surfaces and buildings, the mass, height and layout of the buildings themselves

The spatial configuration of local climate zones reveals effects on wayfinding in human walking.
PLoS ONE, 2023 The importance of easy wayfinding in complex urban settings has been recognized in spatial planning. Empirical measurement and explicit representation of wayfinding, however, have been limited in deciding spatial configurations.

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 ...

Identifying hot and cool spots in the city centre based on bicycle measurements: The case of Olomouc, Czech Republic [PDF]
Geographica Pannonica, 2018 In this study we focus on a detailed analysis of air temperature in the city centre of Olomouc, using a bicycle for mobile measurements. We studied the Spatial pattern of air temperature, analysed temperature differences between local climate zones (LCZs)

Local Climate Classification and Dublin’s Urban Heat Island
Atmosphere, 2014 A recent re-evaluation of urban heat island (UHI) studies has suggested that the urban effect may be expressed more meaningfully as a difference between Local Climate Zones (LCZ), defined as areas with characteristic dimensions of between one and several
