SUEWS v2020a legacy input table: SUEWS_NonVeg.txtLater compilation

Where: SUEWS_NonVeg.txt, code 661 Paved London row

Stores AnOHM rho_cp 1.5e6, k 0.1 and Ch 2 on the London paved 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, UK-Ldn calibration, p. 2883

Publishes the London bulk calibration Cp 2.4 MJ m-3 K-1, k 2.8 W m-1 K-1 and Ch 4.3 without a separate paved-surface tuple.

Assessment findings

Namesupported
Paved identifies the surface row, and retaining the sample-run qualifier makes explicit that this is a preserved configuration assumption rather than a published calibration.
Targetsupported
The sample table stores the tuple by SUEWS paved surface, while Sun et al. explain the AnOHM physical parameters used to calculate storage heat flux.
Valuessupported
The v2020a legacy sample row stores rho_cp 1500000, k 0.1 and Ch 2 exactly. Sun et al.'s published London bulk calibration is instead 2.4e6, 2.8 and 4.3 and does not publish a separate paved tuple, so the stored values are supported only as the preserved sample-table assumption.
issue #116
Sourcesupported
Unreferenced is correct because Ward et al. predate AnOHM and Sun et al. do not publish this paved triple. The later release table is configuration lineage, not a parameter publication.
issue #116
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 #116
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 Paved surface row and describes the paved land-cover class, not a whole-neighbourhood bulk calibration or material specimen.
Methodsupported
Assumed accurately records a sample configuration tuple whose production is not documented and which is not the published London bulk 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 1500000/0.1/2 tuple is preserved in the SUEWS v2020a legacy sample table, but Ward et al. predate AnOHM and Sun et al. publish a different bulk London calibration. 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.
