2019a Release

Version 2019a (released on 15 November 2019)

• Improvement

  1. An anthropogenic emission module is added. Module details refer to Järvi et al. (2019) [J19]_.

  2. A canyon profile module <Wind, Temperature and Humidity Profiles in the Roughness Sublayer>_ is added. Module details refer to Theeuwes et al. (2019) [T19]_.

• Changes

  1. Input file SUEWS_AnthropogenicHeat.txt is renamed to SUEWS_AnthropogenicEmission.txt with new parameters added: MinFCMetab, MaxFCMetab, FrPDDwe, FcEF_v_kgkmWD and FcEF_v_kgkmWE.
  2. BLUEWS has been recovered; set CBLUse to use it.
  3. Removed features:
  • SOLWEIG: fully removed from code.
  • netCDF: fully removed as this is very infrequently used;
    users who need this are suggested to use SuPy
    with help from pandas and xarray to save results in netCDF more elegantly.

• Fix

  1. Fixed a bug in LAI calculation for longterm runs.
  2. Fixed a bug in net all-wave radiation differential calculation for OHM.
  3. Fixed a bug in GDD/SDD calculation that different vegetative land covers could unexpectedly affect each other.
  4. Fixed water redistribution bug in snow module.

• Known issues

  1. Wind direction is not currently downscaled so non -999 values will cause an error.
