Use of Local Climate Zones to investigate surface urban heat islands in Texas

Urban heat islands (UHIs) are a key topic in urban climate studies. However, systematic criteria for UHI comparisons were lacking prior to 2012, when the concept of Local Climate Zones (LCZs) was introduced. By relating remotely sensed land surface temperature (LST) to LCZs, we explored the applicab...
