Note. The climate statistics are long‐term means (1999–2019). The indicated ranges for the parameters are the 5th and 95th percentile of the median distribution from the bootstrapping re‐samples with in brackets the median itself (LCZ Stewart and Oke (2012): 1 = compact high‐rise, 2 = compact mid‐rise, 3 = compact low‐rise, 5 = open mid‐rise, 6 = open low‐rise, F v : Surface fraction covered by vegetation in a 500 m radius around the measurement site, z s : Height of sensors above ground level, z H : Mean building height, ET0: Initial evapotranspiration, λ: e‐folding timescale, t12: Half‐life, S 0: Effective, dynamic water storage capacity), R 2: Median goodness‐of‐fit.
