Short summary
Short summary
Cities are increasingly moving to the fore of climate and air quality research due to their central role in the population’s health and well-being, while suitable models remain scarce. This article describes the development of a new urban LES model, which allows examining the effects of various processes, infrastructure and vegetation on the local climate and air quality. Possible applications are demonstrated and a comparison to an experiment is shown.

Short summary
Short summary
This paper uses the Neural Physics approach to determine parameters of a simple land-surface model. We show that we can only obtain a reliable parameter estimation using soil temperature measurements at more than one depth, and that latent and sensible heat fluxes cannot be differentiated. We then apply the inverse model to real urban flux tower data and show that parameters, as well as various heat fluxes, can be reliably estimated using an observed value for the effective surface albedo.

Short summary
Designing cities that are resilient, sustainable, and beneficial to health requires an understanding of urban climate and air quality. This article presents an upgrade to the multi-physics numerical model uDALES, which can simulate microscale airflow, heat transfer, and pollutant dispersion in urban environments. This upgrade enables it to resolve realistic urban geometries more accurately and to take advantage of the resources available on current and future high-performance computing systems.
