Spectral Separability of Local Climate Zones in Landsat 8 Imagery and its Application in WUDAPT Framework

, 2019
Local Climate Zones (LCZs) classification of urban area under World Urban Database and PortalTool (WUDAPT) framework has amassed about 100 regions’ LCZ catalog by an international collaborationof researchers. With Landsat 8 (L8) being the current standard of imagery for most of the LCZ classificationprocess, the question of ability to distinguish LCZs ...

Urban Landscape Change Analysis Using Local Climate Zones and Object-Based Classification in the Salt Lake Metro Region, Utah, USA

Remote Sensing, 2019
Urban areas globally are vulnerable to warming climate trends exacerbated by their growing populations and heat island effects. The Local Climate Zone (LCZ) typology has become a popular framework for characterizing urban microclimates in different ...

Local Climate Zones in Tropical Urban Environments: A Review

Forum Geografi
Local climate zones (LCZs) were originally proposed to redefine the rural–urban dichotomy, while providing a standardised framework for urban heat island (UHI) studies worldwide. The UHI phenomenon, characterised by rising land surface temperature (LST),
