good morning community
I wonder what is the minimun urban area recommended to use dragonfly, for example, in order to know the effect of vegetations for a plot of 2000m2 (heat island). do you recommend dragonfly or ladybug/honeybee?
thanks a lot!
Dragonfly uses the Urban Weather Generator (UWG) to morph EPW files to account for the urban heat island effect. The UWG works best at describing the air temperature within street canyons for urban areas that are roughly 500m by 500m (according to this thesis by Mike Street). But it can be used to describe larger (or smaller) areas and still be decently accurate.
