The land use and land cover classes in the "urb_gra_LULC3.tif" file are described in the biophysical table, available in the "urb_gra_cooling_biophysical_table" file. 
This file contains the correspondence between land use/cover codes and their respective descriptions, as well as the associated biophysical attributes used in the InVEST urban cooling model.
If you have any questions regarding the interpretation of the classes, refer to "urb_gra_cooling_biophysical_table.csv" for detailed descriptions.
