Urban form data for climate modelling: Sydney at 300 m resolution derived from building-resolving and 2 m land cover datasets

Sydney morphology and land surface dataset

This dataset for Sydney, Australia, represents land cover, building morphology, vegetation morphology and other parameters appropriate for input into local or mesoscale urban climate models.

The dataset is provided in netCDF4 and GeoTiff formats.
