“…For all other UCPs, an ISA-weighted mean is applied, in order to conserve the city's characteristics after remapping to coarser resolution [66]. This procedure is in line with Zonato et al [34], who have found that a weighted average interpolation performs better than the majority approach that was originally developed in W2W [33].…”

“…This development will in addition accelerate the key aim of WUDAPT, that is "to capture consistent information on urban form and function for cities worldwide that can support urban weather, climate, hydrology and air quality modeling" (Ching et al, 2018(Ching et al, , 2019. Examples of modeling systems currently using LCZ information are the Surface Urban Energy and Water Balance Scheme (SUEWS, Alexander et al, 2016), ENVI-met (Bande et al, 2020), the urban multi-scale environmental predictor (UMEP, Lindberg et al, 2018), MUKLIMO_3 (Bokwa et al, 2019;Gál et al, 2021), COSMO-CLM and the WUDAPT-TO-COSMO tool (Wouters et al, 2016;Brousse et al, 2019Brousse et al, , 2020bVarentsov et al, 2020), and the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF, Brousse et al, 2016;Hammerberg et al, 2018;Wong et al, 2019;Patel et al, 2020;Zonato et al, 2020). While WRF currently uses the WUDAPT-to-WRF tool to ingest LCZ information (Brousse et al, 2016), its next release expected in spring 2021 should offer this compatibility by default (A. Zonato, personal communication).…”

“…However, authors suggest further possible improvements, in particular in terms of LCZs extrapolation and transferability to different contexts from the ones where they were firstly derived (Kaloustian et al 2017 [26]). Even if WUDAPT available dataset allows a good urban surface characterization that leads to appreciable modelling results and shows adaptability (e.g., in terms of parameters values interpolation, see Zonato et al 2020 [27]), a site-specific urban characterization still may help for the urban surface classification purpose. In fact, to obtain the so-called Level 0 data, the individuation of TAs is based on the capability of local community to well recognize the main features of the urban environment into TAs: the following process of classification of other site areas is strongly influenced by this first step.…”
