Local Climate Zone (LCZ) map of the São Paulo Metropolitan Region – 2002
Description
Title Local Climate Zone (LCZ) map of the São Paulo Metropolitan Region – 2002 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 2002 at 100m and 250mspatial resolution, a QGIS layer setting (.qml) for official color settings and JPG images. The LCZ classification used Landsat scenes and the Local Climate Zone Classification tool available at SAGA GIS version 2.2.0. We used Landsat7-ETM+ scenes path 219 row 76 and 77 from 20th April and 7th June 2002. 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.
