Surface and Upper Weather Pre-processor for i-Tree Eco and Hydro
Technology Transfer Publication
US Forest Service's i-Tree tools utilizes field-surveyed urban forest information, location specific data, weather data, and air pollutant measurements to quantify urban forest structure and numerous forest-related effects such as carbon sequestration, energy savings, and pollutant removals. Key input is weather data, hourly global surface weather data (NCDC 2013a) and upper air data (NOAA 2013b). The document describes the methods to process hourly weather parameters to run i-Tree tools.
