Urban Scenarios require climate data to calculate water availability and demands.

The Urban Developer Plugin allows users to specify three types of climate inputs:

rainfall
evaporation
temperature

Restrictions

The same climate data is applied to all nodes in an Urban Scenario, unlike Source Catchments and River Manager Scenarios, which allow different climate data to be specified for different features in the model.

Dependencies

The climate data has no dependencies.

Outputs

The climate data is used by the Roof nodes and Urban Developer node end-uses that have climate dependent behaviour such as Outdoor water use.

Properties

Property	Description	Units	Constraints
Rainfall	Time series of rainfall	mm	>= 0, no missing data
Evaporation	Time series of evaporation	mm	>= 0, no missing data
Temperature	Time series of temperature	°C	no missing data

User Interface

Climate inputs are configured via the Urban Settings menu.

The climate time series can be specified using a constant Value, a Data Source or a Function.
