EVALUATION OF THE SEASONAL NIGHTTIME LST-AIR TEMPERATURE DISCREPANCIES AND THEIR RELATION TO LOCAL CLIMATE ZONES (LCZ) IN STRASBOURG [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2021 Abstract. More and more uses and applications are being given to local climate zone (LCZ) maps, which describe the structure of the urban and semi-urban areas. Among others, it is worth highlighting its use in studies of urban heat islands (UHI), sustainability and urban energy balance.

A Case Study on Urban Ventilation Assessment with Local Climate Zone (LCZ) Parameters
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 Abstract The local climate zone (LCZ) partitions are widely used in urban climate investigations. Parameters characterizing LCZ types could be used in investigations about urban heat island (UHI) intensity and air ventilation modelling and assessment.

Characterization of an urban area in the legal Amazon using Local Climate Zones (LCZ)
Revista Nacional de Gerenciamento de Cidades, 2023 The growth of agricultural production and the internalization of the industrial sector has led to a significant increase in the populations of small and medium-sized towns in the Midwest region of Brazil. This movement increases the demand for a built environment and promotes the anthropization of the landscape in these cities, altering the ecosystem ...
