A fast and spatialized urban weather generator for long-term urban studies at the city-scale

In order to make urban climate predictions at the city-scale and on long term experiment accessible to communities such as building engineers or urban planners, a method to calculate meteorological forcing for surface models is presented. This method is computed with weather data files from an operational measurement station outside of the city. The model, called the spatialized urban weather g...
