Is there a name for Doom 2 techbase style and are there any wads in this style?

Title. I mean the maps like Underhalls, The Gantlet, The Crusher etc. Brown skies is a must.

I am no mapper so I don't remember the textures names but you get the idea.

I'd call it "Starport" or "Industrial Techbase" if I had to give it a specific name.

Now, what would you call a TNT-style techbase? Basically the first eleven or so maps with a light brown sky and snowy mountains.

E1 has the STARTAN Phobos techbase style and Plutonia's early levels are more like a jungle temple with techbase elements. Plutonia's second act with the bright red but otherwise clear sky is more techbase than the jungle base levels of the first act.

The Trooper’s Playground has a blue sky, but otherwise does a great job with the brown, abstract starport aesthetic from Doom II.
