Urban form data for climate modelling: Sydney at 300 m resolution derived from building-resolving and 2 m land cover datasets

<p><strong>Sydney morphology and land surface dataset</strong></p> <p>This dataset for Sydney, Australia, represents land cover, building morphology, vegetation morphology and other parameters&nbsp;appropriate for input into local or mesoscale urban climate models.</p> <p>The dataset is provided in netCDF4 and GeoTiff formats.</p> <p>Associated manuscript:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="https://doi.org/10.3389/fenvs.2022.866398">A transformation in city-descriptive input data for urban climate models</a></p> </blockquote> <p>Citation for the open dataset:<br> &nbsp;- Lipson, M., Nazarian, N., Hart, M.
