Short summary
This study evaluated the impact of urbanization over northern Taiwan using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model coupled with the Noah land-surface model and a modified urban canopy model (WRF-UCM2D). WRF-UCM2D performed much better than the original UCM coupled with WRF (WRF-UCM) at non-urban stations with a low urban fraction during nighttime. The result of this study has crucial implications for assessing the impacts of urbanization on air quality and regional climate.
