Resumo

This study proposes the use of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing (RS) to support morphometric research for estimating the aerodynamic roughness length (z0 ) of building placement on various scales. A LiDAR three-dimensional point cloud (3DPC) data processing graphical user interface (GUI) was developed to explore the z0 and related urban canopy parameters (UCPs) in the Incheon metropolitan area in South Korea. The results show that multi-scale urban aerodynamic roughness exploration is viable and can address differences in urban building data at various spatial resolutions. Although validating morphological multi-scale UCPs using dense tall towers is challenging, emerging low-cost and efficient methods can serve as substitutes. However, further efforts are required to link the measured z0 to building form regulations, such as floor area ratio, and expand RS research to obtain more quantitative and qualitative knowledge.
