Sensitivity of mesoscale model urban boundary layer meteorology to the scale of urban representation

Mesoscale modeling of the urban boundary layer requires careful parameterization of the surface due to its heterogeneous morphology. Model estimated meteorological quantities, including the surface energy budget and canopy layer variables, will respond accordingly to the scale of representation. Thi...
