High-quality Local Climate Zones (LCZ) and Land Surface Temperature (LST) map pairs Dataset of Five Southeast Asian cities (SEA-LCZ-LST)

The Southeast Asian LCZ-LST dataset (SEA-LCZ-LST) including 27 high-quality georeferenced map pairs of five cities: Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Bangkok, Manila and Singapore made publicly available in 100m resolution. This dataset contains a total of 16 LCZ types and is split into two folders, LCZ and LST. Both the LCZ and LST folders contain subfolders for each city, all LCZ and LST raster files use the naming convention “CITY_YEAR”. The LCZ files contain LCZ types 1 to 16, along with cloud affected pixels, which are assigned the value “17”. The LST files contain continues temperature values, with the cloud affected pixels assigned the value “9999”. No “NoData” value was assigned to allow easy use for machine learning tasks. The details of the scenes used to construct this dataset including file names, year, chosen Landsat Scene ID, cloud cover and the LCZ mapping overall accuracy are presented in Table 5. A total of 27 LCZ-LST map pairs were collected: 4 for Kuala Lumpur, 4 for Singapore, 7 for Bangkok, 5 for Jakarta, and 7 for Manila.
