Impact of a Detailed Urban Parameterization on Modeling the Urban Heat Island in Beijing Using TEB-RAMS

<table>(a) Configuration of the four two-way nested domains used for the TEB-RAMS (LEAF3-RAMS) simulation in this study. The center of the fourth grid represents the metropolitan area of Beijing, and the central position is located in Tian’an Men Tower. (b) Beijing city with the innermost contour representing its most urban region. The red region represents urban category. The legend shows the vegetation types of the USGS land-use data.</table>
