GIS-based revision of a WUDAPT Local Climate Zones map of Bern, Switzerland

City and Environment Interactions
Urban areas are particularly affected by heatwaves through the intensification of heat stress by the urban heat island effect. For effective climate change adaptation, information about microscale surface cover, structures, and human activity in cities ...

Utilizing WUDAPT LCZ Data for Land Use Representation in Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Models

Entropie
Local Climate Zones (LCZs) classify urban areas based on their morphology and thermal properties. Using the WUDAPT Level 0 methodology, this study develops an LCZs map for Lyon by leveraging satellite imagery and open-source tools.

Comparison of daily and monthly intra-urban thermal reactions based on LCZ classification using surface and air temperature data [PDF]

Geographica Pannonica, 2022
Urban air (T a) and surface (T s) temperature patterns depend mainly on the surface cover conditions. WUDAPT methodology was used to create the local climate zone (LCZ) map of Szeged (Hungary) providing detailed information about the structure of the ...

WUDAPT: An Urban Weather, Climate, and Environmental Modeling Infrastructure for the Anthropocene [PDF]

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2018
AbstractThe World Urban Database and Access Portal Tools (WUDAPT) is an international community-based initiative to acquire and disseminate climate relevant data on the physical geographies of cities for modeling and analysis purposes. The current lacuna of globally consistent information on cities is a major impediment to urban climate science toward ...

Mapping and analyzing the local climate zones in China’s 32 major cities using Landsat imagery based on a novel convolutional neural network

Geo-spatial Information Science, 2021
The Local Climate Zone (LCZ) scheme provides researchers with a standard method to monitor the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect and conduct temperature studies. How to generate reliable LCZ maps has therefore become a research focus.
