Make sure to set use_wudapt_lcz=1 (default is 0) and num_land_cat=41 (default is 21) in WRF's namelist.input when using the LCZ-based urban canopy parameters. The outputs of this tool have only been tested with the most recent WRF version 4.3.x. So we advise you to work with ...

The first phase of WUDAPT has established a protocol using the Local Climate Zones classification system to partition the urban landscape of cities into neighbourhood types that can inform parameter selection in model applications. In this paper, we explore the potential of these data for use in ...
Additionally, several studies applied World Urban Database and Access Portal Tools (WUDAPT) to create urban land use data and estimate UCPs based on satellite retrieved local climate zones (LCZs) in Europe and the USA (Ching et al., 2018). These datasets and tools have largely advanced ...
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. Accordingly, in this study, the impact of incorporating the LCZ map in the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model for ...

In this study, the LCZ-UCPs utilized in WRF are calculated using both LCZ map of 2020 and the WUDAPT to WRF (W2 W) tool [60] which convert from LCZ based geometric and surface properties [24] into WRF embedded UCPs like the area weighted mean building height (Ah), the plan area ...
