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.

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.

- 21 Oct 2014
TL;DR: In this article, a small network of in-situ stations is deployed into different Local Climate Zones (LCZ) across Dublin and additional mobile temperature traverses carried out to examine the thermal characteristics of LCZ following mixed weather during a 1 week period in August 2010.

Linking urban climate classification with an urban energy and water budget model: Multi-site and multi-seasonal evaluation
TL;DR: In this paper, a modeling approach which derives the required land cover parameters for a mid-complex urban energy budget and water budget model (SUEWS) in a consistent and consistent manner is evaluated in four cities (Dublin, Hamburg, Melbourne and Phoenix).

Simulating the impact of urban development pathways on the local climate: A scenario-based analysis in the greater Dublin region, Ireland
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of different urban development scenarios on neighbourhood climate is examined by considering the relative impact differing policy/planning choices will have on the local-scale climate across a city during a typical climatological year (TCY).
