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.

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 ...

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

Atmosphere, 2020 Studies on urban ventilation indicate that urban ventilation performance is highly dependent on urban morphology. Some studies have linked local-scale urban ventilation performance with the local climate zone (LCZ) that is proposed for surface ...
