Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This article is an interesting work. However, the following revisions are required before accepting the manuscript:

1. Authors are required to justify the objectives and novelty of the paper at the end of introduction section.

2. Numerical model should be validated with experimental results or else with similar work reported in open literature. Authors are advised to add a dedicated section for validation.

3. Authors are advised to elaborate on the LCZ1-9 in methodology section.

4. Authors are completely relying on the air temperature. What about the influence of air velocity and Relative humidity. 

5. Results should be compared with similar studies reported in open literature.

6. Section 5 & 6 are named with Conclusions. Authors are advised to check.

Authors are advised to check the grammatical mistakes.

Reviewer 2 Report

I liked this article because I think a lot more measurements like this are needed to correlate building density to assess temperature increase. I can absolutely understand that clear correlations between building architecture and climatic impacts are not yet possible, but I think it is important to continue such measurements.

Reviewer 3 Report

This paper is on the relation between sky view factor and air temperature in different building scenarios on the local climate zone classification framework. I think it is a fine paper and suitable for publication.
