What the Δ is, and is not

Modelled land-cover thermal contrast: this ward's mean surface temperature minus a fully-vegetated reference cell under identical forcing. NOT a measured urban heat island — published Kolkata surface UHI is 0.85–1.5 °C from 1 km satellite data, a different quantity.

How this was checked

Heat accuracy not yet validated for this city. OBOS publishes accuracy bands only where the model has been scored against satellite surface temperature, and that was done over three Kolkata wards. The map here is buildings, terrain and a physical model with no local measurement behind it.

Scenariosmodelled

Not built yet. The toolbox under Overview runs one scenario at a time and keeps none of them: there is nowhere to save an intervention set, name it, or put two of them side by side.

The scoring model it would draw on is already here — src/scripts/climate-engine/dc-urs-scenario.ts — which is why this pane says so instead of rendering an empty panel.

Resilience ScoreComing soon

Withdrawn on 17 Sep 2026. No score is shown until it returns.

Rain memory

    Open ring: no rain or drizzle in that report. The heat model reads these reports to decide whether the ground is still wet.

    What the heat model does with it
    • The airport sets "now". Air temperature, humidity, wind and cloud from the newest report drive the modelled surface.
    • Older than 90 minutes, and the Met Norway forecast stands in, carrying any rain the airport reported.
    • Rain at the airport is applied to the ward, and the weather line says conditions over the ward may differ.

    Ward recordprototype

    No record ships for MG Road. The ward record states what was measured, with what error, from which datasets — and there is no measurement here to state.
