Local Climate Zones and Thermal Characteristics in Riyadh City, Saudi Arabia
Using the local climate zone (LCZ) framework and multiple Earth observation input features, an LCZ classification was developed and established for Riyadh City in 2017. Four land-cover-type and four urban-type LCZs were identified in the city with an overall accuracy of 87%. The bare soil/sand (LCZ-...
