Leveraging Crowdsourced Data for Extreme Heat Monitoring

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 45, Issue 13, 15 November 2025.
Proposed procedure to improve the spatiotemporal resolution of urban temperature monitoring using Crowdsourced weather stations. ABSTRACT The combined effects of urban microclimate heterogeneity and climate change exacerbate the disproportionate impact of heatwaves on urban areas, a trend expected to intensify.

Development of LCZ mapping method combining GIS with machine learning [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Local Climate Zones (LCZ) have been used worldwide in the field of urban climate. In most previous studies, LCZ maps—zoning maps for LCZ categories—were generated using the WUDAPT Level 0 method with satellite images and machine learning techniques.
