Short summary
This study introduces a novel approach to incorporating city-specific EO (Earth Observation) data into an urban canopy model named BEP-BEM (Building Effect Parameterization-Building Energy Model) integrated in WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting). We highlight the added value given by BEP-BEM in the representation of the urban processes compared to a slab urban bulk approach. The implementation of the EO data improved specific aspects of the model performance.
