Evaluation of uWRF performance and modeling guidance based on WUDAPT and NUDAPT UCP datasets for Hong Kong [PDF]
Urban Climate, 2019 The evaluation of uWRF (WRF BEP/BEM) model over Hong Kong or the Pearl River Delta region has received less attention. One reason is the lack of a complete urban canopy parameters dataset for the building morphology in the PRD region.

Contributing to WUDAPT: A Local Climate Zone Classification of Two Cities in Ukraine [PDF]
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2016 Local climate zones (LCZs) divide the urban landscape into homogeneous types based on urban structure (i.e.,morphology of streets and buildings), urban cover (i.e., permeability of surfaces), construction materials, and human activities (i.e ...
