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.

TL;DR: In this article, an urban weather generator (UWG) is proposed to calculate air temperatures inside urban canyons from measurements at an operational weather station located in an open area outside a city.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce a systemic modelling approach to the problem of how best to adapt cities is especially challenging as urban areas will evolve as the climate changes, and examine adaptation strategies for cities requires a strong interdisciplinary approach involving urban planners, architects, meteorologists, building engineers, economists, and social scientists.

TL;DR: The protocol by which LCZ maps generated by different members of the community are produced and evaluated is outlined, which supports the assumption that the current level 0 products are already of sufficient quality for certain applications.

TL;DR: The authors showed that cities are particularly vulnerable to extreme weather episodes, which are expected to increase with climate change, and that cities also influence their own local climate, for example, through the relative relative...
