Abstract

132 urban parameters for Maricopa County are provided in WRF-readable binary form at 100m grid spacing with index. These parameters allow regional weather modelers to account for the contribution of built structures in modeling the urban heat island. This data is also provided in CSV format. Data are generated using 2023 Model America Version 1 data (https://www.osti.gov/biblio/1774134) and will be used to represent the urban morphology in Maricopa County to the WRF model for experiments conducted for the Southwest Urban Corridor Integrated Field Laboratory (SW-IFL). Three files associated with these parameters are included in this repository: index, binary file 00001-01549.00001-01796, Maricopa_Parameters_03072024.csv . To use the binary file with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, the binary file and the index file must be placed in their own directory in WRF_GEOG and accessed in the same way the National Urban Database and Access Portal Tool data (NUDAPT44) would be accessed. The name of the binary file must be in the format: 00001-02715.00001-01803. If, upon download, the binary filename has additional or different characters, please change them to match this format.

Urban Parameters LA County 100m

Dataset Sweet-Breu, Levi ; Allen-Dumas, Melissa

132 Urban parameters based on building physical dimensions and location were generated for the city of Los Angeles at 100m resolution using the NATURF model. Files are in binary format for WRF readability and in CSV for use in other models. Documentation for the NATURF model can be found at: https://github.com/IMMM-SFA/naturf/ . To use the binary file with WRF, the binary file and the index file must be placed in their own directory in WRF_GEOG and accessed in the same way NUDAPT44 would be accessed.
Building heights and urban canopy parameters for urban modeling

Dataset Kamath, Harsh ; Singh, Manmeet ; Niyogi, Dev

GLObal Building heights for Urban Studies (UT-GLOBUS) is a random forest model based framework that provides a level-of-detail-1 (LoD-1) building height dataset. The primary objective of UT-GLOBUS is not to precisely predict the height and footprint of individual buildings, but rather to offer a functional framework for generating building level information using open-source datasets for modeling applications. Specifically, UT-GLOBUS is tailored to meet the requirements of deriving urban canopy parameters (UCPs) for the multi-layer model within the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and building heights for the SOLWEIG and SUEWS model. Building-level data is accessible in vector file formatmore »« less
Quality-Controlled Meteorological Data from the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (FCDMC) Network, Phoenix, Arizona (1987-2024)

Dataset Aryal, Aashish ; Mascaro, Giuseppe

This dataset contains 15- or 30-minute interval meteorological data from the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (FCDMC), Arizona, USA, covering eight key variables across multiple sensor stations between 1987 and 2024. Each variable is stored as a separate CSV file, containing time-series data that have undergone rigorous quality control (QC) procedures and, where appropriate, short-gap interpolation for consistency. The quality control (QC) pipeline consisted of four sequential tests: (1) a range test to ensure all values fall within physically realistic limits, (2) a step test to identify abrupt and implausible changes between consecutive records, (3) a proximity test thatmore »« less
1988/1989 Maricopa Household Travel Study

Dataset Team, TSDC

This study was commissioned by the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) Transportation and Planning Office. The primary objectives of this study were to update the trip generation rates used in the MAG travel demand forecasting process and to provide data to validate the MAG trip distribution model. Demographic, socioeconomic, and travel data was collected for 2,992 households residing within the MAG Urban Planning Area. Respondents were asked to record their travel and activities for a 24-hour period. A total of 26,733 trips were recorded by 6,463 people.
2002 Maricopa Regional Household Travel Survey

Dataset Team, TSDC

The Maricopa Regional Household Travel Survey was conducted by NuStats from February through December 2001 under the auspices of the Maricopa Association of Governments. The purpose of the survey was to obtain information related to travel behavior. The study objective was to produce data that could be used to develop and calibrate travel demand models for use in travel forecasting and air quality planning. A total of 5,478 households were recruited to participate in the study, and travel information was gathered from all household members regardless of age in Maricopa County and a small portion of Pinal County. Of these,more »« less
