Where: Table 2, original and adjusted albedo values, p. 8
Publishes pavement albedo 0.12 as original and 0.10 as adjusted.
Where: Section 4.2.2, Outgoing shortwave radiation, p. 7
Explains that lower building and paved albedos were used because the original inputs overestimated observed bulk albedo at London and Swindon, and reports improved model performance with the adjusted inputs while cautioning against tuning exactly to radiometer observations.
| Name | supported Paved identifies the surface class whose adjusted value Ward et al. publish. |
|---|---|
| Target | supported Surface albedo is a land_cover.paved parameter. |
| Values | supported Table 2 publishes original pavement albedo 0.12 and adjusted albedo 0.10; the record stores the adjusted 0.10 exactly. |
| Source | supported Ward et al. publish the adjusted pavement value and evaluate its effect on modelled outgoing shortwave radiation at the two UK sites. |
| Place | supported The shared se-england place describes the two-site application geography containing London and Swindon; it is not a claim of regional empirical reach. |
| Representativeness | supported The adjusted input is evaluated against local radiometer observations at two neighbourhood-scale sites, so site is the supported evidence reach. |
| Applicable Scale | supported Ward et al. assign the value to the paved land-cover class, so land_cover is the supported application scale. |
| Method | supported Ward et al. manually lower the pavement input in response to the observed bulk-albedo mismatch and evaluate the improvement. This is an observational calibration under the fitted vocabulary, although no formal optimiser is documented. |
| Identity | supported Stable path, target, source and value identify one retained database record. |
Ward et al. manually reduce pavement albedo from 0.12 to 0.10 in response to the observed bulk-albedo mismatch at the London and Swindon sites and evaluate the resulting improvement. The record therefore classifies the method as fitted and evidence reach as site, while retaining the shared SE England application geography. The value, source, stable path, target, origin and legacy identity do not change.
