Mastering LCZ4r General Functions in QGIS

April 02, 2025

Introduction

The LCZ4rGeneral Functions are designed to facilitate the retrieval, analysis, and visualization of Local Climate Zones (LCZ) when LCZ related data is not readily available. These functions enable users to download LCZ maps, compute LCZ classes, and extract specific parameters of interest, such as Sky View Factor (SVF), impervious surface fraction, and roughness element height.
