SUEWS v2017a input tables and generator workbookParameter source

Where: SUEWS v2017a SUEWS_OHMCoefficients.txt, Code 904

Directly stores 0.805, -0.193 and -9.39 and labels the row "An99 weighted average (all year) - calculated by HCW". It states the executable tuple but not the calculation.

SUEWS v2017a input tables and generator workbookValidation

Where: SUEWS v2017a AN99 seasonal rows 907-910

Lists Apr-Sep, Oct-Mar, August and JJA tuples. Code 904 equals the component-wise mean of the rounded 907 and 908 rows, but no artifact says that this was HCW's operation, so numeric coincidence is not promoted to calculated provenance.

A study on the partition of net radiation into heat fluxes on a dry asphalt surfaceInput observations

Where: Section 2.1, Data, p. 3912

Where: Table 1, daily asphalt coefficients, p. 3917

Publishes 33 daily fits from the Alland asphalt-road site, not Code 904 or the unpublished HCW aggregation.

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

States that the Beijing application uses AN99 asphalt weighted-average values following earlier work; it does not publish or derive the tuple.

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

Where: Final ModelRuns/Input/SUEWS_OHMCoefficients.txt, Code 904

Where: Final SUEWS_NonVeg code 110 and SUEWS_SiteSelect mapping

The final archive repeats Code 904 and maps Beijing's paved surface to it in all four OHM slots, establishing later application lineage only.

Assessment findings

Namesupported
The neutral archival label identifies the retained AN99 all-year paved configuration without presenting the undocumented weighted calculation as recovered provenance.
Targetsupported
The public table stores Code 904 as an OHM coefficient triplet for a paved/asphalt configuration.
Valuessupported
The pinned v2017a table and the later Beijing model archive both state 0.805, -0.193 and -9.39 exactly. No coefficient changes.
Sourcesupported
The canonical source is the pinned SUEWS input table that directly states the complete tuple. Zheng et al. are retained as a later Beijing application/compilation, while source_legacy_ref 90240067 preserves the migrated registry link.
issue #327
Placesupported
Alland is the observation location identified by the AN99 label and original asphalt study; Beijing remains the later application origin recorded on the stable path.
Representativenesssupported
The underlying daily coefficients come from one micrometeorological station over part of an 8 m-wide asphalt road, so site is the supported evidence reach.
Applicable Scalesupported
Code 904 is an all-year weighted average of fitted asphalt-road coefficients. The archived row and Anandakumar asphalt experiment describe the asphalt material response, not a complete paved land-cover class or a neighborhood aggregate.
issue #46
Methodsupported
The release calls Code 904 a weighted average calculated by HCW but publishes no selected inputs, weights, missing-month treatment, calculation order or rounding. Assumed is therefore the honest production method until the original calculation is recovered or a verifier adopts a new reconstruction.
issue #327
Identitysupported
Stable path, legacy ID 50240044, Beijing application origin, Code 904 label and exact triplet preserve the archived configuration identity while removing the false publication attribution.

Scientific note

The exact Code 904 tuple is directly recoverable from a pinned SUEWS release table, so the record no longer needs a false Zheng et al. parameter attribution. The historical HCW calculation is not recoverable from the public workbooks: the coefficients are literal cells with no formula or derivation sheet. Although Code 904 equals the mean of the rounded seasonal rows 907 and 908, numeric coincidence cannot establish lineage. The record therefore cites the public configuration artifact and remains method assumed for focused human review. Anandakumar supplies the observation inputs and Alland site; Zheng supplies later Beijing application evidence. No coefficient, stable path, place or downstream selection changes.
