Impact of an improved WRF urban canopy model on diurnal air temperature simulation over northern Taiwan

This study evaluates the impact of urbanization over northern Taiwan using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model coupled with the Noah land-surface model and a modified urban canopy model (WRF–UCM2D). In the original UCM coupled to WRF (WRF–UCM), when the land use in the model grid is...
