I would like to share you the Local Climate Zone's Aracaju map. The LCZ helps standardize methods of observation and documentation in urban heat island studies, Stewart and Oke (2012) developed the Local Climate Zone (LCZ) classification scheme wihch comprises 17 zones based mainly on properties of surface structure (e.g., building and tree height & density) and surface cover (pervious vs. impervious). See: Stewart, I.D. and Oke, T.R. 2012. Local Climate Zones for urban temperature studies. Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 93: 1879-1900. Stewart, I.D., Oke, T.R., and E.S. Krayenhoff. 2014. Evaluation of the ‘local climate zone’ scheme using temperature observations and model simulations. International Journal of Climatology, 34: 1062-80.
