LUCY: Large scale Urban Consumption of EnergyParameter source

Where: CountryID.txt, weekdayhours.txt and weekendhours.txt, row 155 (Norfolk Island)

CountryID.txt identifies row 155 as Norfolk Island. The same row in weekdayhours.txt and weekendhours.txt states the complete working-day and holiday arrays stored by this record.

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

Where: Section 3.2 and Figure 2, traffic activity profiles, p. 2663-2665

Describes the Hallenbeck base profile, national working-hour adjustment, weekday peaks and weekend reduction used by LUCY, but presents only example curves rather than all country arrays.

Assessment findings

Namesupported
The display name identifies the LUCY traffic-profile family published with the software dataset.
Targetsupported
Allen et al. define these as traffic activity profiles, and the archived files provide the corresponding hourly arrays.
Valuessupported
The 24 working-day and 24 holiday values match row 155 of the official weekdayhours.txt and weekendhours.txt files exactly.
Sourcesupported
The Reading archive is the parameter source because it publishes every exact stored array; Allen et al. remains method evidence and is not credited with values absent from its tables and figures.
issue #978
Placesupported
CountryID.txt maps row 155 to Norfolk Island, matching the record place and retained origin.
Representativenesssupported
The source constructs country-specific profiles from national working-hour information, supporting regional rather than site or city scope.
Methodsupported
Literature records direct adoption of the archived country-row arrays without a new database-side fit or calculation.
Identitysupported
Legacy IDs 60240788 and 60240789 map mechanically to LUCY country row 155; stable paths and values are unchanged.

Scientific note

The official LUCY 2014a archive assigns Norfolk Island to row 155; its weekdayhours.txt and weekendhours.txt rows reproduce both stored arrays exactly. Allen et al. document the construction method but do not tabulate this complete country-specific pair, so the canonical source is corrected to the archived dataset and the article is retained as method input evidence. Parameter values, stable path, place, origin, representativeness and legacy IDs are unchanged.
