Hydrological processesUrban climateImproved WRF/SLUCM is used including hydrological processes and tree evapotranspiration in Singapore.Both increase the latent heat flux and reduce sensible heat flux by different magnitudes.Tree evapotranspiration induces little change in 2-m temperature and humidity....
RELEASE NOTE: This modification adds two options (use_distributed_aerodynamics and distributed_ahe_opt) to WRF SLUCM (sf_urban_physics = 1) so that spatially varying urban morphological parameters (building height, plan area index, frontal area index, roughness length for momentum, and displacement...
