- Title
LOCAL CLIMATE ZONES FOR URBAN TEMPERATURE STUDIES.
- Authors
STEWART, D.; ORKE, T. R.
- Abstract
The article explores urban temperature studies in 2011. Population growth and climate change are two factors significantly affecting the study of urban heat islands, which is a term defined as the atmospheric warmth of a city compared to its countryside. The Local Climate Zone (LCZ) Classification System was used by the authors in observing the heat island effect in all urban areas. They conclude that the system could be used in classification of urban and rural sites for temperature studies.
