Generating WUDAPT Level 0 data – Current status of production and evaluation
Benjamin Bechtel,Paul J. Alexander,Christoph Beck,Jürgen Böhner,Oscar Brousse,Jason Ching,Matthias Demuzere,Cidália Costa Fonte,Tamás Gál,Julia Hidalgo,Peter Hoffmann,Ariane Middel,Gerald Mills,Chao Ren,Linda See,Panagiotis Sismanidis,Marie-Leen Verdonck,Guang Xu,Yong Xu +18 more
TL;DR: The protocol by which LCZ maps generated by different members of the community are produced and evaluated is outlined, which supports the assumption that the current level 0 products are already of sufficient quality for certain applications.

The potential of local climate zones maps as a heat stress assessment tool, supported by simulated air temperature data
Marie-Leen Verdonck,Matthias Demuzere,Hans Hooyberghs,Christoph Beck,Josef Cyrys,Alexandra Schneider,Robert Dewulf,Frieke Van Coillie +7 more
TL;DR: The authors assesses the thermal behavior of mapped local climate zones (LCZs) using simulated temperature data from the UrbClim model and show that temperature regimes are significantly different for all the built zones in the urban environment independent of the city.

TL;DR: Improvements of up to 20% in overall accuracy were found when multiple training datasets were used together to create a single LCZ map, and improvement was greatest for small training datasets, saturating at about ten to fifteen sets.

Influence of neighbourhood information on ‘Local Climate Zone’ mapping in heterogeneous cities
Marie-Leen Verdonck,Akpona Okujeni,Sebastian van der Linden,Matthias Demuzere,Robert De Wulf,Frieke Van Coillie +5 more
TL;DR: Evidence was introduced on the relevance of a quantitative accuracy assessment in LCZ mapping, showing that the accuracies reported in previous papers are not easily achieved, and the method presented proves to be highly effective in Belgian cities, and shows promise for application in other heterogeneous cities worldwide.

TL;DR: In this paper, high-accuracy MOCCA (MOnitoring the City's Climate and Atmosphere) network is used to monitor the urban climate of the city of Ghent since July 2016.
