Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:
This dataset is a collection of 1-m resolution mean radiant temperature (Tmrt) rasters generated using digital surface models and the Solar and longwave environmental irradiance geometry (SOLWEIG) model. The dataset provides hourly Tmrt in the Phoenix, Arizona (USA) metropolitan area for a typical summer day (June 27, 2012, peak air temperature of 41 degrees C) from 07:00 hrs to 20:00 hrs (local time (America/Phoenix)). The dataset can serve as a guide for heat mitigation programs within the area and as input for heat exposure studies.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package
Description:
The digital surface models were generated from a high-resolution LiDAR point cloud dataset provided by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). USGS provided the data in 2152 tiles, each covering an area of 1 km2. For each tile, three surface models were created. These include a model for ground heights, ground and building heights, and vegetation heights above ground level. The SOLWEIG model was implemented using a set of custom and sourced scripts from the Urban Multi-scale Environmental Predictor (UMEP) open repository. The implementation was used to generate the hourly Tmrt rasters, including intermediate outputs such as shade distribution and sky view factors for each tile using python-based workflows in Jupyter notebooks. The meteorological forcing data used in the estimations were obtained from the Arizona Meteorological Network. Final output Tmrt was mosaicked using gdal tools and QGIS.

Abstract:Phase IV of the Central Arizona-Phoenix LTER (CAP) continues to focus on the question: How do the ecosystem services provided by urban ecological infrastructure (UEI) affect human outcomes and behavior, and how do human actions affect patterns of urban ecosystem structure and function and, ultimately, urban sustainability and resilience? The overarching goal is to foster social-ecological urban research aimed at understanding these complex systems using a holistic, ecology of cities perspective while contributing to an ecology for cities that enhances urban sustainability and resilience. This goal is being met through four broad programmatic objectives: (1) use long-term observations and datasets to articulate and answer new questions requiring a long-term perspective; (2) develop and use predictive models and future-looking scenarios to help answer research questions; (3) employ existing urban ecological theory while articulating new theory; and (4) build transdisciplinary partnerships to foster resilience and enhance sustainability in urban ecosystems while educating urban dwellers of all ages and experiences. CAP IV research is organized around eight interdisciplinary questions and ten long-term datasets and experiments, and researchers are organized into eight Interdisciplinary Research Themes to pursue these long-term research questions.
