Global to city scale urban anthropogenic heat flux: model and variabilityInput observations

Where: Table II and Section 3.1, metabolic activity patterns, p. 2662-2663

Defines resting, transition and active metabolic levels of 75, 125 and 175 W and the working-hour schedules used in LUCY; it does not print the recoded SUEWS multipliers.

LUCY: Large scale Urban Consumption of EnergyInput observations

Where: CountryID.txt and Metabolism.txt, row 172 (Reunion)

CountryID.txt identifies row 172 as Reunion; Metabolism.txt states its complete 24-hour sequence of 75, 125 and 175 W inputs.

SUEWS database pre-migration workbook: database.xlsxLater compilation

Where: Pre-migration Profiles rows 60240362-60240363

Preserves the exact two stored multiplier arrays and their historical Ref 90240008 link before record migration; it is compilation evidence, not an external parameter publication.

Assessment findings

Namesupported
The display name identifies the LUCY human metabolic-activity profile represented by the stored multipliers.
Targetsupported
Allen et al. and the archived Metabolism table define a human metabolic-activity schedule, matching the SUEWS human-activity profile target.
Valuessupported
Applying 75 to 1, 125 to 1.5, and 175 to 2 to all 24 cells of Metabolism.txt row 172 reproduces both stored day arrays exactly.
Sourcesupported
Unreferenced is correct for the transformed multipliers: Allen et al. publish the metabolic levels and the archive publishes their country-row schedule, but neither states the recoded SUEWS array. The historical Allen reference is retained only as source_legacy_ref.
issue #979
Placesupported
CountryID.txt maps row 172 to Reunion, matching the record place and retained origin.
Representativenesssupported
The archived mapping selects a country-specific working-hour pattern, supporting regional rather than site or city scope.
Methodsupported
Calculated records the deterministic database-side recoding of the archived watt levels to dimensionless SUEWS multipliers.
Identitysupported
Legacy IDs 60240362 and 60240363 map mechanically to LUCY country row 172; stable paths and values are unchanged.

Derivation

other · stored = 1 + (W - 75) / 100 · Affine recoding of each archived LUCY metabolic watt level to the dimensionless SUEWS human-activity multiplier.

Scientific note

The official LUCY 2014a archive assigns Reunion to Metabolism.txt row 172. Recoding its 75, 125 and 175 W cells as 1, 1.5 and 2 reproduces both retained 24-hour arrays exactly. Neither Allen et al. nor the software archive publishes those transformed multipliers, so the record is an unreferenced database calculation over explicitly located source-table inputs; Ref 90240008 remains only as historical metadata. Parameter values, stable path, place, origin, representativeness and legacy IDs are unchanged.
