Short summary
In this experiment, the Parallelized Large-Eddy Simulation Model (PALM)’s performance in simulating incoming and outgoing short-wave radiation in a densely built, highly heterogeneous urban environment was validated. In particular, we assessed whether the micro-scale model realistically resolves the effects of three-dimensional urban morphology and vegetation on short-wave radiation, including its propagation, shading, reflection, and attenuation within the simulated domain.
