SUEWS v2020a legacy input table: SUEWS_NonVeg.txtLater compilation

Where: SUEWS_NonVeg.txt, code 662 Bldgs London row

Stores AnOHM rho_cp 6000000, k 1.3 and Ch 6 on the London building sample row without an AnOHM parameter citation.

The Analytical Objective Hysteresis Model (AnOHM v1.0): methodology to determine bulk storage heat flux coefficientsValidation

Where: Table 3, London calibration, p. 2883

Publishes London AnOHM Cp 2.4 MJ m-3 K-1, k 2.8 W m-1 K-1 and Ch 4.3, demonstrating that the sample tuple is not the published London calibration.

Assessment findings

Namesupported
Building identifies the Bldgs surface row, and retaining the sample-run qualifier makes explicit that this is a preserved configuration assumption rather than a published calibration.
Targetsupported
Both the sample table and Sun et al. organise AnOHM thermal properties by SUEWS surface class, including buildings.
Valuessupported
The v2020a legacy sample row stores rho_cp 6000000, k 1.3 and Ch 6 exactly. Sun et al.'s published London calibration is instead 2.4e6, 2.8 and 4.3, so the stored tuple is supported only as the preserved sample-table assumption, not as a scientific fit.
issue #114
Sourcesupported
Unreferenced is correct because Ward et al. use OHM and predate AnOHM, while the AnOHM publication gives a different London tuple. The later release table is configuration lineage, not a parameter publication.
issue #114
Placesupported
Generic is the active evidence place because no publication determines this tuple at a study location. London remains in the stable path and origin as the sample row's application label.
issue #114
Representativenesssupported
Generic marks an explicit configuration assumption without a supported geographic fit; city would falsely present the tuple as London observational evidence.
Applicable Scalesupported
The tuple is stored on the Bldgs surface row and describes the building land-cover class, not a whole-neighbourhood aggregate or one construction material.
Methodsupported
Assumed accurately records a sample configuration tuple whose production is not documented and which differs from the published London calibration.
Identitysupported
The stable path, London origin, legacy ID, target, name and values preserve the sample row; correcting its active source and scope prevents that lineage from being mistaken for Ward or Sun parameter evidence.

Scientific note

The exact 6000000/1.3/6 tuple is preserved in the SUEWS v2020a legacy sample table, but Ward et al. predate AnOHM and Sun et al.'s London calibration is 2.4e6/2.8/4.3. This record is therefore an explicit generic land-cover assumption with source unreferenced. The sample-run label and stable London path/origin preserve configuration lineage; no parameter value, target or legacy ID changed.
