We averaged the 1-minute data from the BIF green roof to30-minute intervals for simulations. We selected the dates ofMarch 29 to June 11, 2012 (Julian Days of Year (DOY) 88–160)based on data availability and as an example of a particularly dryperiod. Several gaps in wind speed during the period were filledusing bias-corrected hourly data from the National Oceanic andAtmospheric Administration (NOAA) at Champaign, Illinois (NOAA,2015). Hourly atmospheric pressure (Pa) data were obtained fromNorth American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS) (NASA,2015) forcing data for a grid point in central Illinois and interpolatedto half-hourly for input forcing data.
