WRF domain showing (a) dynamical downscaling with Domain 1 (d01) as the outermost parent domain at 4.5 km grid spacing, Domain 2 (d02) with 1.5 km grid spacing, and the innermost Domain 3 (d03) with 0.5 km grid spacing, covering the Greater Sydney area. Points A (east) and B (west) are used to draw horizontal-vertical cross-sections for analyzing meteorological conditions in Fig. 6. (b) Map of updated land use/land cover (LULC) derived from ESA Sentinel-2 imagery at a 10 m resolution for the innermost domain. The LULC map was created by the first author using WRF-Python for the WRF domain (https://github.com/NCAR/wrf-python) and ArcGIS 10.4 (http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis), and does not require any permission. The LULC also shows the locations of surface meteorological stations in different urban environments: (1) Observatory, (2) Sydney Airport, (3) Olympic Park, and (4) Penrith.
