Abstract

The building effect parameterization (BEP) module [3] was implemented in a high resolution version of the COSMO model (DWD) in order to take into account the urban impact on the airflow and the radiation budget. Based on urban structure data of Dresden, relevant input parameters of the BEP module were developed. By means of this model setup it is possible to investigate the interactions between the city structure and the meteorological variables with different types of artificial cities, ranging from densely built-up areas to suburban areas in order to illuminate the impact of the city type on the dynamical and thermal properties of the atmosphere.
