| Abstract | As part of the Indianapolis Flux (INFLUX) experiment, the accuracy and biases of simulated meteorological fields were assessed for the city of Indianapolis, IN. Aset of simulations was performed using a mesoscale model. Different PBL schemes, urban canopy models (UCMs), and a model subroutine that was created in order to reduce an inherent model overestimation of urban land cover were implemented in the simulations. A variety of meteorological observations are also used,including eddy covariance data. By combining the observations and the different model configurations, a detailed assessment is performed to assess the behavior and performance of different model configurations. |
