The application of the climate model Berlin in its current version is based on the following components building upon one another:
- the evaluation of long-term operation of measurement stations in Berlin and Potsdam as the basis for calibrating the model results (04.13, long-term development of selected climatic parameters, SenStadtUm 2015a).
- extensive analysis steps for working out a well-founded data basis (04.10 Climate Model Berlin – Analysis Maps), as well as
- the preparation of three planning advice maps that supplement one another.
Following data bases were used mainly for conducting the process steps 2 and 3:
- GEO-NET Umweltconsulting GmbH, Hanover: GIS supported modelling of parameters relevant for urban climate based on high-resolution building and vegetation data; EFRE project 027 Urban climate Berlin (SenStadtUm 2015b),
- Data of the Urban and Environmental Information System (ISU) of SenStadtUm, III D 1, version 31.12.2010:
- Block map 1: 5,000 (ISU5_UA),
- Area usage data (SenStadtUm 2010),
- Criteria for evaluating the soil functions, map of closeness to nature (SenStadtUm 2013a),
- Uncorrected degrees of sealing (grid data) – intermediate result of the rule-based classification (SenStadtUm 2012),
- Building and vegetation heights (SenStadtUm 2014),
- Ground level (DGM5) (SenStadtUm 2010a),
