Abstract

This chapter explores the advancement in data, models, and application for observing and estimating land use impacts on surface climate, and points out further research needs and priorities, which will provide some references for related studies. The reclassification of time series land cover data can meet the accuracy requirement of climate simulation and can be used as the parameters of dynamical downscaling in regional climate simulation, which enhances the data processing and laid a good foundation for Land Use and Cover Change (LUCC) simulation.
