Data used in manuscript Spatial modelling of local-scale biogenic and anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions in HelsinkiParameter source

Where: SUEWS_Model_run_Kumpula.zip, Input/SUEWS_AnthropogenicEmission.txt, Code 10

The public archive file (Zenodo MD5 2ba163c63fdd5497f636b1567f13bd09; downloaded SHA256 bc86356ba3f60568bbc7ed4167e46a08ebd98d532ac372b6d2935305c6f0ffff) labels Code 10 "Helsinki Jarvi et al 2014" and gives BaseTHDD 18.2; qf_a 0.1/0.1; qf_b 0.00986/0.00986; qf_c 0.0102/0.0102; AHMin 15/15; all four heating/cooling slopes 2.7; all four critical temperatures 7; metabolic heat 75/175; metabolic CO2 120/280; fossil fractions 0.05/0; EF 1.159; vehicle energy 3.97e6 J km-1; vehicle CO2 0.285/0.285; point source 0; and traffic units 1.

Where: SpatialRun_input.zip, Input/SUEWS_AnthropogenicEmission.txt, Code 10

The independently packaged spatial-run input repeats the same Code 10 row byte-for-value, confirming that the Kumpula archive copy is not an isolated transcription.

Development of the Surface Urban Energy and Water Balance Scheme (SUEWS) for cold climate citiesLater compilation

Where: Table 4b, overall-area parameter values, p. 1701

Publishes qf_a 0.1, qf_b approximately 0.0099, qf_c 0.0102 and BaseTHDD 18.2 for the Helsinki cold-climate configuration. It does not publish the complete archived row.

Where: Sect. 2.1, anthropogenic heat flux, p. 1693

Describes the degree-day anthropogenic heat formulation evaluated at the Helsinki sites.

SUEWS database pre-migration workbook: database.xlsxLater compilation

Where: database.xlsx, AnthropogenicEmission row, legacy ID 53240010

Preserves the stable Helsinki configuration identity and combined heat/CO2 structure, but rounds qf_b and vehicle CO2 factors, omits the active working-day heating base temperature and stores EF as zero. The pinned original input artifact settles those discrepancies.

Assessment findings

Namesupported
The neutral name identifies the retained Helsinki combined anthropogenic-emission configuration. The public model archive labels the matching row "Helsinki Jarvi et al 2014", while the stable path and legacy row retain the database identity.
Targetsupported
The archived SUEWS_AnthropogenicEmission table directly supplies the heat and CO2 fields under anthropogenic_emissions.
Valuessupported
Code 10 in the public model archive directly states every exported heat and CO2 leaf. Aligning the record with that row restores qf_b 0.00986 on both day types, the missing working-day heating base temperature 7, EF_umolCO2perJ 1.159 and vehicle CO2 factors 0.285. All other active values already match. The legacy row explains the former rounded or missing cells but does not override the original archived configuration.
Sourcesupported
The canonical source is now the pinned Järvi et al. data archive that contains the exact configuration artifact. Järvi et al. (2014) independently documents the degree-day heat branch, while the pre-migration workbook is retained only as later database lineage.
issue #190
Placesupported
The archived row is explicitly labelled Helsinki, and the 2014 paper applies the heat configuration at Helsinki study sites.
Representativenesssupported
Site is the conservative evidence reach: the artifact is distributed inside the Kumpula model-run input package, while the 2014 evaluation uses local Helsinki measurement footprints rather than a city-wide determination.
Methodsupported
Literature describes adoption of the complete pinned configuration row. It does not claim one shared production method for the underlying inventory, metabolic and degree-day inputs.
Identitysupported
Archive Code 10 is the Helsinki combined configuration. The related Code 51/legacy 53240051 record is now independently tied to the exact Ku1 archive row and remains a distinct sector configuration with different heat and CO2 fields.

Scientific note

The apparent mixed-source blocker was caused by auditing the journal article and migrated workbook without the public model-run input bundle. Zenodo 2572472 contains the exact classic SUEWS table, and two independently packaged copies agree on Code 10. The record now follows that original configuration artifact, with four evidence-authorised corrections and no inferred values. Järvi et al. (2014) remains useful validation for the degree-day branch rather than being made to support CO2 fields it never prints. The Ku1 Code 51 record is scientifically distinct and is now resolved against its own exact archived input row.
