Multi-level sonic-anemometer turbulence from the Tianjin 255 m tower (summer 2017)

Field

10 Hz sonic data at 40, 80, 120, 160 and 200 m on an urban meteorological tower, July–August 2017, with fluctuations, spectra and statistics; suited to momentum and heat transport in the convective urban boundary layer.
