System for Automated Geoscientific Analyses (SAGA) v. 2.1.4
Olaf Conrad,Benjamin Bechtel,Michael Bock,Helge Dietrich,Elke Kerstin Fischer,Lars Gerlitz,Jan Wehberg,V. Wichmann,Jürgen Böhner +8 more
TL;DR: The wide spectrum of scientific applications of SAGA is highlighted in a review of published studies, with special emphasis on the core application areas digital terrain analysis, geomorphology, soil science, climatology and meteorology, as well as remote sensing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping local climate zones for a worldwide database of the form and function of cities
Benjamin Bechtel,Paul J. Alexander,Jürgen Böhner,Jason Ching,Olaf Conrad,Johannes J. Feddema,Gerald Mills,Linda See,Iain D. Stewart +8 more
TL;DR: The WUDAPT protocol developed here provides an easy to understand workflow; uses freely available data and software; and can be applied by someone without specialist knowledge in spatial analysis or urban climate science.
Journal ArticleDOI
WUDAPT: An Urban Weather, Climate, and Environmental Modeling Infrastructure for the Anthropocene
Jason Ching,Gerald Mills,Benjamin Bechtel,Linda See,Johannes J. Feddema,Xuemei Wang,Chao Ren,Oscar Brousse,Alberto Martilli,Marina Neophytou,Petros Mouzourides,Iain D.

Theeuwes +33 more
TL;DR: The World Urban Database and Access Portal Tools (WUDAPT) as mentioned in this paper is an international community-based initiative to acquire and disseminate climate relevant data on the physical geographies of cities for modeling and analysis purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classification of Local Climate Zones Based on Multiple Earth Observation Data
TL;DR: In this study Local Climate Zones, a system of thermally homogenous urban structures introduced by Stewart and Oke, was used in a pixel-based classification approach and seemed to yield considerable potential for an automated classification of LCZ.
Journal ArticleDOI
WUDAPT, an efficient land use producing data tool for mesoscale models? Integration of urban LCZ in WRF over Madrid
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the potential of these data for use in the application of the Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) model, which incorporates Building Effect Parameterization and Building Energy Model (BEP-BEM) schemes.
