Urban flow and climate datasets for Finland

5 open urban flow resources for Finland: 3 field measurements and 2 simulation datasets. They cover urban boundary layer, dispersion & air quality and urban heat & thermal comfort. Each entry links to the original repository, with its licence, creators and how to cite it.

  • 5 resources
  • 3 field
