Local Climate Zone teaser maps for the 15 largest functional urban areas stratified by urban ecoregion. The data is extracted from the global 100 m spatial resolution LCZ map, and is used to plot Figures 5, 6 and 7 of Demuzere et al. (2022a). The full global LCZ map is available via Demuzere et al. (2022b). Technical details: - Each GeoTIFF contains 4 bands: * LCZ: the raw LCZ map, before applying the morphological Gaussian filter * LCZ_Filter: the recommended global LCZ map, with the morphological Gaussian filter applied * LCZ_Probability: a pixel-based probability derived from 50 random forest models (in %), derived from the LCZ band * CGLS-LC100_2018_URBAN_FLAG: a binary version (urban = 1 and natural =0) of the 100m Copernicus Global Land Cover Layers Collection 3 (year 2018) - Projection: World Geodetic System 1984 (EPSG:4326) - Spatial Resolution: 0.000898° (~ 100 m) - Representative for the nominal year of 2018 Available cities are (FUA_ID is used in filename): FUA_ID | City name | Country name ----------------------------------------------- 7244 | New York | UnitedStates 2262 | Moscow | Russia 5129 | Tokyo | Japan 4215 | Buenos Aires | Argentina 4686 | Tehran | Iran 5006 | Mexico City | Mexico 865 | Lagos | Nigeria 7466 | Delhi [New Delhi] | India 6567 | São Paulo | Brazil 506 | Luanda | Angola 2327 | Lima | Peru 1642 | Los Angeles | UnitedStates 3981 | Cairo | Egypt 5621 | Rawalpindi [Islamabad] | Pakistan 5972 | Yekaterinburg | Russia The table below describes the class number | official class description | official hex color.
