Abstract

The work aims to generate a climatic zoning for the Mendoza Metropolitan Area (AMM) that allows to standardize the study of urban climate and to have a solid theoretical basis for planning and management of the city. The model to be developed is the Local Climate Zones (LCZ) proposed by Stewart and Oke and for this purpose it has been used as a WUDAPT (World Urban Database Access Portal Tools) tool.
The results show that, overcoming the tool limitations, the climatic zones identified within the analysis area show correlation with the landscape in different city sectors.
