The dataset contains hourly simulation output of the UrbClim-HiREx modeling framework for the city of Ghent (Belgium) during a heat wave from 9 to 15 June 2023.
The UrbClim model output contains air temperature, specific humidity, and wind speed at 100 m spatial resolution for the city of Ghent and its surroundings.
The HiREx model output contains globe temperature, wet-bulb temperature, and wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) at 1 m spatial resolution for the university campus Sterre at the urban fringe of Ghent.
The observational measurements, including metadata and measurement locations used for validation, are available in the companion dataset: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13785282.
