| 1 | == WP-P2.1: 3D radiation and course grid techniques |
| 2 | || |
| 3 | === Goals of the project: |
| 4 | || |
| 5 | We will implement an alternative three-dimensional radiation scheme to enhance the calculation of the longwave divergence within the urban canopy yielding a more realistic description of the cooling of air in a city during nighttime. In addition, this scheme considers the air constituents in the urban canopy layer and the three-dimensional casting of shadows from clouds. |

| 7 | === Tasks of the project: |
| 8 | || |
| 9 | WP-P2.1: Implementation of buildings in the 3D-radiative transfer model '!TenStream' and the validation against the benchmark Monte-Carlo model MYSTIC and coupling of the 3D radiative transfer model to the PALM-4U model. |

| 11 | || |
| 12 | === Project structure: |
| 13 | || |
| 14 | This work package is conducted at LMU, Munich in close cooperation with [UC]² partners at HUB (Salim, Schubert). |
| 15 | |
| 16 | || |
| 17 | === Deliverables: |
| 18 | || |
| 19 | DL1 (month 18): Implementation of buildings in the TenStream modelDL2 (month 24): Evaluation and comparison against MYSTIC |
| 20 | |
| 21 | DL3 (month 30): Coupling of the Tenstream model to PALM-4U |
| 22 | || |
| 23 | === Progress so far: |
| 24 | || |
| 25 | In a first step, we enhanced MYSTIC to be able to compute complex buildings and did a study on the influence of said complex surfaces in urban canopies. |
