Evaluation of the Surface Urban Energy and Water balance Scheme (SUEWS) at a dense urban site in Shanghai: Sensitivity to anthropogenic heat and irrigationParameter source

Where: Section 2.2, Estimation of anthropogenic heat flux QF, p. 1986

States that weekday, weekend and holiday building profiles are based on city electricity and scaled by Shanghai's electricity fraction, XJH industry fraction and dynamic population density.

Where: Figure 3a, XJH building anthropogenic heat profiles, scale 2, p. 1987

Presents the weekday, weekend and holiday curves after accounting for dynamic population density.

Where: Section 3.1, Anthropogenic heat fluxes, p. 1989

Describes each curve's hourly shape and gives scale-2 max:min ratios of 4.7, 3.2 and 3.4 before two-decimal profile rounding.

Where: Historical database rows 60240944-60240946

Preserves the exact two-decimal vectors, day types and Ref 90240064 that resolves to Ao et al.; this is compilation lineage, not a second derivation source.

The Relationship Between Power Load and Meteorological Factors with Refined Power Load Forecast in ShanghaiInput observations

Where: Introduction and Section 1, Shanghai power-load characteristics, p. 455-457

Uses Shanghai Electric Power Company 15-minute load data for 2004-2008 and separates working from non-working days, including holiday effects.

A review of methods for estimating anthropogenic heat and moisture emissions in the urban environmentInput observations

Where: Section 2.2, Industry, p. 191

States that industrial energy use is relatively weather-insensitive and has a more uniform diurnal and seasonal distribution; Ao et al. use this as their uniform industrial-load assumption.

Shanghai Statistical Yearbook 2016Input observations

Where: Chapter 6 Table 6.1, energy consumption in main years

Official rows give total and industrial energy and electricity consumption for 2005-2009; Ao et al. reproduce these in Table A1 and use them for the approximately 14% electricity fraction and XJH industry scaling.

Multi-criteria Satisfaction Assessment of the Spatial Distribution of Urban Emergency Shelters Based on High-Precision Population EstimationInput observations

Where: Section 3.1.2, Population Data, and Figure 4, p. 419

Finds Jing'an daytime population 39.2% above nighttime overall and 147.7% above nighttime in its busiest subdistrict, one basis for Ao et al.'s XJH dynamic-population scaling.

Dynamic characteristics of Shanghai's population distribution using cell phone signaling dataInput observations

Where: Section 3.1, population time dynamics, p. 975-976

Shows population moving into central Shanghai from 0600 to 1000, remaining concentrated until 1800, then returning outward.

Where: Figure 7, central-city daytime-to-nighttime population ratio, p. 979

Maps central-city neighborhood daytime-to-nighttime ratios, supporting the approximately 1.5 ratio adopted by Ao et al.

Assessment findings

Name	supported The display name identifies the publication that derived the XJH building-heat profiles.
Target	supported Figure 3a identifies the profiles as building anthropogenic heat flux, matching the energy-use profile attached to anthropogenic heat.
Values	supported Ao et al. Figure 3a and section 3.1 establish the three scaled weekday, weekend and holiday profile shapes and their reported max:min ratios. The paper does not print the normalized two-decimal arrays; the versioned legacy rows preserve all 72 exact compiled values and cite Ao et al. through reference 90240064. No value is changed.
Source	supported Ao et al. is the publication that derives and presents the profiles, so it remains the parameter source. The other publications supply electricity, industry and population inputs and are recorded separately rather than being credited with the final vectors.
Place	supported Section 2.2 and Figure 3a identify the final profiles with the XJH site in Shanghai.
Representativeness	supported The city electricity profile is scaled by XJH industry and dynamic-population assumptions; Figure 3a labels the result as the XJH site profile.
Urban Setting	supported The paper describes XJH as a dense central business district dominated by office and residential buildings.
Method	supported The database adopts Ao et al.'s published, source-side derivation and does not recompute the vectors from atomic database records or fully enumerated source-table inputs. Under the record vocabulary this is literature, while the evidence roles retain the calculation's distinct input lineage.
Identity	supported Legacy rows 60240944, 60240945 and 60240946 are respectively Weekday, Weekend and Holiday entries named Ao et al.; migration maps them to working_day, holiday and public_holiday in this single profile record.

Scientific note

This record is an adoption of Ao et al.'s XJH scale-2 building-heat profiles. Ao et al. calculated those curves from city electricity data, energy and industry fractions, a uniform industrial-load assumption and dynamic population evidence; the database did not repeat that calculation from atomic inputs. Keeping source ao2018 and method literature therefore credits the derivation publication, while the sidecar separates every located input-data role. The paper supplies the derivation and plotted curves, and the immutable legacy rows supply the exact two-decimal compilation lineage.
