Vegetation Photosynthesis and Respiration Model code and output for south-western Europe between 2001 and 2022
Zenodo. These datasets contain the Python code for executing the modified Vegetation Photosynthesis and Respiration Model (VPRM) including soil moisture effects on the Net ecosystem exchange (NEE), Gross Primary Production (GPP) and the Ecosystem respiration (RES); and the daily VPRM output between January 2001 and December 2022 for the south-western Europe domain.

WRF-Chem output- concentrations for the 4 simulations: reference, urbanization, extension of agricultural areas and more urban parks
Zenodo. We use the WRF-Chem air-quality model with an urban canopy scheme to investigate how land use affects the urban climate and chemical processes, resulting in changes in air quality for the scenarios proposed by the Urban Master Plan of the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona. This is a supplementary material of this article

Survey answers for the research: Characterizing public perception of mixed rooftop uses
DDD UAB. This dataset is based on a phone survey conducted in April 2021. The aim of this survey was to inform policy plans of the need for the implementation of different systems: rooftop agriculture, photovoltaic solar panels, and rainwater harvesting in a way that benefited the municipality (Cerdanyola del Vallès, Catalonia) and residents socially, environmentally, and economically

Model animation of OCS surface fluxes, OCS drawdown and winds
DDD UAB. This is an animation showing wind vectors indicating that the air was from the continent and thus OCS mole fractions may vary according to the degree to which the different air masses were exposed to biosphere OCS sinks over land. This is a supplementary material of this article

Incorporating user preferences in rooftop food-energy-water production through integrated sustainability assessment
DDD UAB. Research based on the participatory integrated sustainability assessment of five different scenarios of the implementation of open-air farming, rooftop greenhouses, green roofs, photovoltaic panels and rainwater harvesting in the municipality of Badia del Vallès

WRF-Chem output- NO2 and O3 concentrations for the base case and each emission scenario
Zenodo. Six air quality simulations are performed under each emission scenario (75%, 50%, 25%, 15%, 10%, and 5% reduction on traffic emissions)for the period of March 2016 to study the impact of the lockdown measures on air quality. This is a supplementary material of this article

Assessing heat exposure to extreme temperatures in urban areas using the Local Climate Zone classification
Zenodo. Trends of extreme-temperature episodes in cities are increasing (in frequency, magnitude and duration) due to regional climate change in interaction with urban effects. Urban morphologies and thermal properties of the materials used to build them are factors that influence spatial and temporal climate variability and are one of the main reasons for the climatic singularity of cities.
