Lluís: Seems to me it should be 6? Oscar: It should be 2. We have put 5 a while ago with Alberto because BEP only accepted levels of 5 m in the past.

I can confirm.

I m not sure what the original question is, but if you use W2W then these values are set by default.

In addition: the next release of WRF/WPS will allow you to use LCZs without having to use W2W. All of the required pre-processing will be done within WRF/WPS. It is for that reason I created the hybrid Copernicus-Modis-LCZ land use map.

Best, Matthias

Thank you for jumping in, @matthiasdemuzere

if you use W2W then these values are set by default.

Do you mean that W2W has hard-coded values for e.g. building heights, regardless of the setting in URBPARM_LCZ.TBL? We will likely keep using your tool in the FPS

the next release of WRF/WPS will allow you to use LCZs without having to use W2W

Do you mean 4.5 (released a few days ago)? or is it intended for 4.5.1? 4.6? There seems to be already some capability to process your new data in v4.5

Hi all,

In version 4.5 you can find the LCZ map at 100m resolution. However, regarding the interpolation method to create point-by-point values has not been released yet, I'm working on it!

@andreazonato, is this w2w interpolation method planned for the upcoming WPS v4.6?
