Provenance Air temperature is computed by HARMONIE-AROME
Validation The simulations made by HARMONIE-AROME in Urban SIS has been validated against observations in Urban SIS deliverable 5.1, where an overview is given in Table 4. For temperature a more extensive analysis have been made in section 4.1. See, in particular, section 4.1.1 for an analysis of land use dependence of temperature in the simulations.
