Local Climate Zone (LCZ) map of the São Paulo Metropolitan Region - 2010
Description
Title LCZ map of the São Paulo Metropolitan Region – 2010 Data Description This map is part of a PhD research entitled “Vegetation, surface temperature and urban morphology. A portrait of the São Paulo Metropolitan Region”. The data consists of a shapefile of the São Paulo Metropolitan Region LCZ map of 2010 at 100m spatial resolution and a QGIS layer setting (.qml) for official color settings. The LCZ classification used Landsat scenes and the Local Climate Zone Classification tool available at SAGA GIS version 2.2.0. We used Landsat 5-TM scenes path 219 row 76 and 77 from 18th April and 5th May 2010. Projection: EPSG 31983 – Sirgas 2000/ UTM zone 23S.

Available at: https://teses.usp.br/teses/disponiveis/16/16132/tde-02102019-173844/pt-br.php Classes are represented by numbers as follows: LCZ 1 (DN 1) - Compact highrise LCZ 2 (DN 2) - Compact midrise LCZ 3 (DN 3) - Compact lowrise LCZ 4 (DN 4) - Open highrise LCZ 5 (DN 5) - Open midrise LCZ 6 (DN 6) - Open lowrise LCZ 8 (DN 8) - Large lowrise LCZ 9 (DN 9) - Sparsely built LCZ A (DN 101) - Dense trees LCZ B (DN 102) - Scattered trees LCZ C (DN 103) - Bush, scrub LCZ D (DN 104) - Low plants LCZ E (DN 105) - Bare rock or paved LCZ F (DN 106) - Bare soil or sand LCZ G (DN 107) – Water LCZ 7 - Lightweight low-rise and LCZ 10 - Heavy Industry were not used due to the lack of significand areas of these categories.
