No objections to new category, Sebastien will also update issue with a table listing all the categories. Branch to be added. |
@amilan17 create branch
branch updated
@SibylleK propose another code building cover in a different way
https://github.com/wmo-im/CCT/wiki/Teleconference-8.6.2022 notes:
Sibylle spoke with colleagues and extra parameter is not needed.
branch is ready, @marijanacrepulja validate
@sebvi category name is slightly different between proposal and the branch.
In the proposal is Urban area
In the branch is Urban areas
Which name do you want to use?
I think 'Urban areas' sounds better, 'area' sounds more related to the geometry of the urban space.
yes! @amilan17 and @marijanacrepulja : when doing the branch I also thought it should be areas so I used that but did not update the ticket. will do now
@amilan17 the branch is ready, please review the branch and move to "Ready to FT"
Summary and purpose
ECMWF is proposing a new category "Urban areas" within the discipline "Land Surface Products".
Action proposed
The team is kindly asked to review and approve the contents for inclusion within the next update to the WMO Manual on Codes.
Discussions
In the context of the recent developments of accurate modelling of Urban areas, we would like to request a new category "Urban areas" to host new parameters specific to Urban modelling. The first set of parameters includes Urban cover, Road cover, Building cover, Building height, Vertical-to-horizontal area ratio, and standard deviation of Building height. We foresee the need of additional parameters in the near future.
Detailed proposal
Add a new Category "1 - Urban areas" within the discipline "2 - Land Surface products" in Code table 4.2
