Simulations v The WRF (V3.4.1) simulations were<br />

performed with four two-way nested<br />

doma<strong>in</strong>s with a grid spac<strong>in</strong>g of 27, 9,<br />

3, and 1 km respectively. The<br />

number of vertical sigma pressure<br />

levels was 40 (14 levels <strong>in</strong> the lowest<br />

1.5 km).<br />

v The simulations were conducted with<br />

the NCEP F<strong>in</strong>al Analyses data<br />

(number ds083.2) cover<strong>in</strong>g a 10-day<br />

EWD period from 00 LT July 10 to<br />

23 LT July 19, 2009.<br />

v The US Geological Survey 30m 2006<br />

National Land Cover Data set was<br />

used to represent modern-day LULC<br />

with<strong>in</strong> the Noah-LSM for the urban<br />

doma<strong>in</strong>. Three different urban classes<br />

describes the morphology of the city:<br />

COI, HIR and LIR.<br />

v The build<strong>in</strong>g energy parameterization<br />

(BEP+BEM) was applied to the<br />

fraction of grid cells with built cover.
