Possible Use Case Template for SUEWS

[rarygit]

Looking ahead, an example of a use case template for SUEWS within the UMEP framework could be the Urban Tethys-Chloris model hosted on Zenodo (Urban Tethys-Chloris (UT&C v1.0) and published in GMD.

It is also hosted here:

UT&C is a sub-hourly urban model, which contains several important hydrological features missing in SUEWS, including runon and subsurface irrigation.
The below-canopy modelling of the turbulent sensible heat flux is also quite interesting.
In some respects one can discern elements of SUEWS incorporated into the UT&C model.
The associated GMD article makes a comment regarding SOLWEIG and ENVI-Met.
In itself the GMD publication is a comprehensive technical manual for urban microclimate modelling.
It had very positive reviews.

Although Matlab-based, there seems to be no special toolboxes required.
You need to make sure that you follow the meteo data format (including diffuse radiation) and re-run the skyview factor for your area of interest.
I have yet to test it on Octave.
