Generating WUDAPT Level 0 data – Current status of production and evaluation [PDF]

open access: yesUrban Climate, 2019
The World Urban Database and Access Portal Tools (WUDAPT) project has grown out of the need for better information on the form and function of cities globally. Cities are described using Local Climate Zones (LCZ), which are associated with a range of key

Using OpenStreetMap (OSM) to enhance the classification of local climate zones in the framework of WUDAPT [PDF]

open access: yesUrban Climate, 2019
The World Urban Database and Access Portal Tools (WUDAPT) project has adopted the LocalClimate Zone (LCZ) scheme as a basic and consistent description of form and function of cities atneighbourhood scale.

WUDAPT, an efficient land use producing data tool for mesoscale models? Integration of urban LCZ in WRF over Madrid

open access: yesUrban Climate, 2016
Nowadays, the absence of suitable data that describes the urban landscape in climate relevant terms for climatic models is a significant impediment to progress, even if the physics that underpins these models is universal.

Integration of the WUDAPT, WRF, and ENVI-met models to simulate extreme daytime temperature mitigation strategies in San Jose, California [PDF]

open access: yesBuilding and Environment, 2020
An obstacle to the modeling of strategies to mitigate extreme urban temperatures is frequently the lack of on-site meteorological data. The current study thus reports on a method that used the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to generate ...

Investigating the relationship between local climate zone and land surface temperature using an improved WUDAPT methodology – A case study of Yangtze River Delta, China

open access: yesUrban Climate, 2018
© 2017 Elsevier B.V. The concept of Local Climate Zone (LCZ) was developed to quantify the relationship between urban morphology and urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon. Each LCZ is supposed to represent homogeneous air temperature.

Improved simulation of very heavy rainfall events by incorporating WUDAPT urban land use/land cover in WRF

open access: yesUrban Climate, 2020
Abstract A World Urban Data Analysis and Portal Tool (WUDAPT) based Local Climate Zone (LCZ) classification and mapping is done for Mumbai, India. Prior WUDAPT-based urban studies have primarily focused on urban heat island (UHI) assessment, and this is the first study to assess the impact on rainfall simulations.

Pathway using WUDAPT's Digital Synthetic City tool towards generating urban canopy parameters for multi-scale urban atmospheric modeling [PDF]

open access: yesUrban Climate, 2019
The WUDAPT (World Urban Database and Access Portal Tools project goal is to capture consistent information on urban form and function for cities worldwide that can support urban weather, climate, hydrology and air quality modeling. These data are provided as urban canopy parameters (UCPs) as used by weather, climate and air quality models to simulate ...

Implications of employing detailed urban canopy parameters for mesoscale climate modelling: a comparison between WUDAPT and GIS databases over Vienna, Austria [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, 2018
ABSTRACTOne of the major obstacles to using numerical weather prediction models for guidance on mitigating urbanization's impact on local and regional climate is the lack of detailed and model ready morphological data at urban scale. The World Urban Database and Access Portal Tool (WUDAPT) is a recent project developed to extract climate relevant ...
