Towards climate-responsible tree positioning: detailed effects of trees on heat exposure in complex urban environments

General information

Published dataset are open data following FAIR Principles. This is supplementary data for a paper called ‘Towards climate-responsible tree positioning: detailed effects of trees on heat exposure in complex urban environments’ to be submitted to the journal Urban Forestry & Urban Greening. Dataset contains three folders:

PALM code

GIS data used for a following analyses (mainly SVF*) and tree locations

Processed UTCI results as maps and ASCII files

Results are organised in the 03_UTCI folder as follows: trees (first simulation) and no_trees (second simulation). Absolute values for both simulations are located in subfolders output-gis, output-png and output-png-shift. Difference between output-png and output-png-shift folders is legend; png or svg files in the shift folder have variable minimum and maximum. Folder output-gis include ASCII files with projection. All the results have subfolders averaged to 01h and 24h averages. Folder no_trees contain three more subfolders; output-diff-gis, output-diff-png and output-diff-png-shifted. Organisation of the folders is the same as was described before, but values are not absolute, but differences (trees - no_trees).

Note that SVF we used is SVF* we describe in paper. All time labels used in figures or titles are in UTC, not in CEST (+2h). Any other questions or data are available upon request via email address [e-mail].
