Provenance evidence

Awaiting sign-off

Assumed · assessed by provenance-audit · 2026-08-24. Agent assessment is evidence preparation, not human verification.

SUEWS v2016a release workbook: SUEWS_SiteInfo18_Lo.xlsmLater compilation

Where: Pre-migration AnthropogenicEmission row 53245511

Names the row sample run, sets Origin London, stores the complete migrated heat and CO2 tuple, and carries Ref 90240000, the unreferenced placeholder source ID.

SUEWS v2016a release workbook: SUEWS_SiteInfo18_Lo.xlsmLater compilation

Where: V2016a SUEWS_AnthropogenicHeat.txt sample input row

Preserves the same mixed heat and release-default configuration in the historical sample input.

The Surface Urban Energy and Water Balance Scheme (SUEWS): Evaluation in Los Angeles and Vancouver.Validation

Where: Table 2(b), anthropogenic heat input, p. 223

Publishes rounded a0 0.308, a1 0.00986 and a2 0.0102 values for the heat model.

Where: Section 4.1 and Table 3, Vancouver Vs87 application, p. 227, 224

Identifies the QF evaluation and diurnal profile as Vancouver Vs87 evidence, not London evidence.

Assessment findings

Namesupported
Archived London anthropogenic configuration identifies the retained release/migration row without presenting it as a coherent London parameter determination or disposable test data.
issue #264
Targetsupported
The row stores the coupled anthropogenic heat and CO2 configuration fields used by the anthropogenic_emissions target.
Valuessupported
The exact combined tuple is supported as a preserved v2016a configuration row. Järvi et al. independently document the Vancouver Vs87 heat-model form and rounded 0.308/0.00986/0.0102 coefficients, but they do not publish this later heat-plus-CO2 row as a London determination.
Sourcesupported
Unreferenced is correct because no single publication states or derives the complete stored configuration. The pre-migration Ref 90240000 is itself the registry's unreferenced placeholder, so no publication link is manufactured.
issue #264
Placesupported
London is retained as the archived row's application/configuration identity. It does not claim that the inherited Vancouver heat coefficients or generic release defaults were determined in London.
Representativenesssupported
City describes the intended reach of the archived London configuration, not empirical evidence reach for every inherited field in the mixed row.
Methodsupported
Assumed marks retention of the complete application configuration. It deliberately does not claim that every heat and CO2 field shares one measured, fitted or literature production method.
issue #264
Identitysupported
Legacy ID 53245511 and the exact release row establish a distinct archived configuration identity. The stable path and London origin remain for traceability while the new name makes its catalogue role explicit.
issue #264

Scientific note

This record remains solely as an archived London application configuration. The exact release tuple is retained for stable-path and migration traceability, but it combines a Vancouver heat-model lineage with later generic heat and CO2 configuration fields and has no single parameter publication. Source unreferenced, method assumed and the descriptive archived name prevent the row from reading as a London city evidence determination while avoiding guessed citations, value changes or an unsupported split.
