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

Urban Climate, 2019
Abstract The World Urban Database and Access Portal Tools (WUDAPT) project has adopted the Local Climate Zone (LCZ) scheme as a basic and consistent description of form and function of cities at neighbourhood scale. LCZs are classified using crowdsourced training samples, open data and open source software but the quality of the maps still needs ...

Investigating the influence of urban land use and landscape pattern on PM2.5 spatial variation using mobile monitoring and WUDAPT [PDF]

Landscape and Urban Planning, 2019
Particulate matter that 2.5) has been recognized as one of the principal pollutants that degrades air quality and increases health burdens. In this study, we employ the MLR and GWR modelling method to obtain estimation models for PM2.5 with a set of land

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

Urban Climate, 2016
Abstract 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. To address this data gap the World Urban Database and Access Portal Tools (WUDAPT) project focuses on creating a global ...

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

Building and Environment, 2020
Abstract 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 inputs for the ENVI-met model to produce building-scale canyon temperatures within a 300 m ...

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

Urban Climate, 2018
Abstract 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. However, there is inadequate data for verifying the air temperature differences between LCZ classes.

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

Urban 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.

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

International 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 ...

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

Urban 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 ...
