Abstract

This visualization includes an E3SM-based animation of temperatures in North America during the July 2018 heat wave, followed by a higher resolution focus over Los Angeles using the WRF-UCM model to illustrate neighborhood-scale temperatures that account for urban features like buildings, waste heat, and vegetation, as well as sea breeze impacts. Finally, we show the potential impact of cool roofs to reduce temperatures.

Urban morphology and urban water demand evolution in the Los Angeles region

Dataset Ferencz, Stephen ; Capone, Johanna ; Yoon, Jim ; ...

Detailed description of the dataset sources used in this study, the experimental workflow, and plotting for the paper figures provided at the associated GitHub Meta Repo: https://github.com/IMMM-SFA/Ferencz_et_al_2024_ERL The future water demand projections from this study are hypothetical future water demands that reflect the population and urban land cover changes represented by the scenarios considered. The intent and emphasis of this work is investigating the interactions between population change, evolution of urban morphology, and water demand. These projections are not meant to be likely future demands for specific water providers or the LA region and should not be interpreted as such. more »« less

WRF-UCM CDD (cooling degree days) data (in EN)

Dataset Vahmani, Pouya ; Jones, Andrew D

The MATLAB (.mat) files (spatial grids of daily CDD data) are generated by a suit of WRF-UCM simulations over California at 4.5 km resolution (1.5 km resolution over cities) for 5 scenarios
High-resolution (30-m) urban land cover projections for Los Angeles California Urban Area: 2010 to 2100 under SSP5

Dataset McManamay, Ryan ; Vernon, Chris

These data represent simulations of future land use and land cover (LULCC) for Los Angeles urban area (U.S. Census Bureau defined area) as raster tiff images at a 30-m pixel resolution and at decadal time steps from 2010 to 2100. LULCC classes in this product follow the National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD) classification. NLCD 21-24 correspond to open developed, low developed, medium developed, and high developed urban land classes, respectively. Only urban land cover classes (NLCD class 21, 22, 23, and 24) are dynamic over time; however, all NLCD classes are included in the final product. Therefore, NLCD classes thatmore »« less
Projected Urban Morphology of the Los Angeles Area by the Year 2100

Dataset Pandey, Bhartendu ; Dumas, Melissa

This data set was generated from dual generative adversarial networks that generates building footprints fraction and average building heights using land cover data as the primary conditional input. Model training used c2015 land cover data and building footprints and heights data. Building footprints and heights were sourced from the Model America data set (version 1) accessible via DOI: 10.15485/2283980. Annual 2015 land cover data was based on the National Land Cover Database (NLCD) Collection 1, accessible via DOI: 10.5066/P94UXNTS. The dataset contains 192 files in the GeoTiff format at 30 m spatial resolution containing urban morphology projections for the yearmore »« less
