TLDR
In this paper, Sendai, Japan has been selected as a case study to evaluate whether the Local Climate Zone (LCZ) scheme can be used to study urban heat islands (UHIs) that are exposed to sea-land breeze since it has two urban-rural areas: mountain side and coastal side.About:

Simulation of green roofs and their potential mitigating effects on the urban heat island using an artificial neural network: A case study in Austin, Texas
TL;DR: In this paper, a multilayer feed-forward neural network was applied as a nonlinear model to find a relationship between land surface temperature and various urban characteristic parameters simultaneously, and the importance of the variables in LST modeling was evaluated using sensitivity analysis.

Contributions of sea–land breeze and local climate zones to daytime and nighttime heat island intensity
TL;DR: In this article , the authors used Shenzhen as a case study to examine the daytime and nighttime differences in UHI intensity (UHII), considering different local climate zones (LCZs) and sea-land breezes.

Urban Heat Island in Mediterranean Coastal Cities: The Case of Bari (Italy)
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental investigation at the micro-scale was conducted to study and quantify the UHI effect by considering several spots in the city to understand how the urban and physical characteristics of these areas modify air temperatures and lead to different UHI configurations.

Climate suitability assessment on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors used the consulting graded method (CGM), least squares method (LSM) and questionnaire survey method (QSM) to obtain comprehensive weights for oxygen content, solar radiation and comfort index to build the Climate Suitability Index of Plateau (CSIP) and assess climate suitability on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Local Climate Zones for Urban Temperature Studies
Iain D. Stewart,Timothy R. Oke +1 more
TL;DR: The Local Climate Zone (LCZ) classification system as discussed by the authors was developed to address the inadequacies of urban-rural description, and consists of 17 zone types at the local scale (102 to 104 m).

Narrowband to broadband conversions of land surface albedo I Algorithms
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied an approach that decouples surface reflectance spectra from the real-time radiative transfer simulations to calculate the total shortwave albedo, total-, direct-, and diffuse-visible, and near-infrared broadband albedos for several narrowband sensors.
