Abstract

Information on urban morphological features at high resolution is needed to properly model and characterize the meteorological and air quality fields in urban areas. Here a project called National Urban Database with Access Portal Tool (NUDAPT) that addresses this need is described. NUDAPT is designed to produce gridded fields of urban canopy parameters to improve urban meteorological simulations. It makes use of the availability of high-resolution urban buildings and land use data. An important core-design feature is the utilization of Portal technology to enable NUDAPT to be a Community based system. Sensitivity studies showing air quality simulations driven with outputs from urban meteorology preprocessors using advanced urban descriptions are described.
