Simulating heat and CO2 fluxes in Beijing using SUEWS V2020b: Sensitivity to vegetation phenology and maximum conductanceLater compilation

Where: Section 4.3, Storage heat flux, p. 4556

The article says all surface coefficients follow the previous Beijing SUEWS study; it does not publish or derive the code-799 tuple.

Archived code-799 roof averageRelated record

Preserves the same code-799 tuple as a generic legacy identity. The pinned v2017a input table directly supports that tuple, while its historical averaging calculation remains undocumented.

Assessment findings

Namesupported
Original roof average is the archived label of code 799 selected by the Beijing building configuration; it identifies reused configuration lineage rather than an independent Beijing fit.
issue #66
Targetsupported
Valuessupported
Sourcesupported
Unreferenced is correct for the exact tuple because Zheng et al. apply and archive code 799 but do not derive it; source_legacy_ref 90240067 preserves the migration link to the application paper without presenting it as the parameter publication.
issue #66
Placesupported
Beijing is the model-application location of this retained code-799 selection, not a claim that the coefficients were independently determined in Beijing.
issue #66
Representativenesssupported
City describes the reach of the archived Beijing model application; it does not describe empirical evidence reach for the generic code-799 configuration or its undocumented derivation.
issue #66
Applicable Scaleunresolved
Zheng et al. establish later Beijing use of code 799 but not whether the tuple originally describes a roof facet or a building land-cover class. The original code-799 publication/table or an author statement defining its fitted unit is required.
issue #46
Methodsupported
Assumed records the Beijing configuration choice to reuse code 799. It deliberately does not claim to reconstruct the undocumented calculation that originally produced the generic tuple.
issue #66
Identitysupported
The archive selects code 799 for the Beijing building surface, while the generic record preserves the underlying reusable code identity. Keeping both stable paths distinguishes application lineage from the generic configuration provenance without claiming two parameter determinations.
issue #66

Scientific note

The Zheng archive proves that code 799 was selected for the Beijing building surface but does not make Zheng et al. the parameter source. This record is therefore retained as an explicit Beijing application identity with source unreferenced and method assumed; source_legacy_ref 90240067 preserves the application-paper link. The related generic record now cites the pinned v2017a table that directly stores the tuple and marks its undocumented averaging method as assumed. No value, stable path, origin or legacy ID is changed.
