Local Climate Zone LCZ

Local Climate Zones (LCZs) are an urban classification system that classifies urban areas into distinct local climates based on morphological and land cover characteristics. More details at https://www.cittametropolitana.mi.it/Territori_resilienti/TERRITORI/index.html. A first version of LCZ in Ferrara was implemented by Politecnico di Milano as part of the AIRBREAK project. This dataset will be used as the basic level to provide statistics on the average temperature of the Earth's surface and other indices. - The layer was generated by Politecnico di Milano during the AIR BREAK project from building height data (source regional topographic database), sky view factor (SVF – digital model source of surfaces 1m Ministry of Environment), albedo (or reflectance of urban materials, which depends mainly on colour) and vegetation (classified according to a spectral vegetation index, i.e. the NDVI). Local climate zones (LCZs) are a concept introduced by Stewart and Oke (I. D. Stewart & Oke, 2012; I. Stewart & Oke, 2011). The main objective of the LCZ system is to allow a standardized selection of urban sites with respect to the intensities of Urban Heat Island (UHI) in relation to homogeneous characteristics in terms of urban morphology and urban materials. The system is applicable to most cities and is intended for urban temperature studies using thermal sensors normally positioned about 2 meters above the ground. The LCZ system classifies the urban-rural landscape into 17 "built" and seven "soil cover" classes.局地气候分区（Local Climate Zones, LCZs）是一套城市分类体系，基于形态特征与土地覆盖属性，将城市区域划分为各具独特属性的局地气候类型。更多详情请访问：https://www.cittametropolitana.mi.it/Territori_resilienti/TERRITORI/index.html。费拉拉市的首套LCZ分类体系由米兰理工大学（Politecnico di Milano）作为AIRBREAK项目的组成部分搭建完成。本数据集将作为基础层级，用于统计地球表面平均温度及其他相关指数。该地理图层由米兰理工大学在AIRBREAK项目中生成，所用数据包括建筑高度数据（来源：区域地形数据库）、天空可视因子（Sky View Factor, SVF——1米级地表数字模型来源：环境部）、反照率（即城市材料的反射率，主要取决于材料色彩）以及植被数据（基于光谱植被指数，即归一化差异植被指数（Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, NDVI）进行分类）。局地气候分区（LCZs）这一概念由Stewart与Oke提出（I. D. Stewart & Oke, 2012; I. Stewart & Oke, 2011）。LCZ体系的核心目标是，基于城市形态与城市材料的均一化特征，针对城市热岛（Urban Heat Island, UHI）强度实现城市选址的标准化筛选。该体系适用于绝大多数城市，主要用于依托通常架设于地面约2米高处的热传感器开展城市温度相关研究。LCZ体系将城乡景观划分为17类“建成类”与7类“土地覆盖类”。
