Raw Doppler wind lidar measurements at the Paris-region site Arboretum Vallee-aux-Loups from the urbisphere campaign. Useful for urban boundary-layer wind and turbulence profiles.
Météo-France/CNRM campaign from February 2004 to February 2005: a city-centre flux tower and surface stations, boundary-layer profilers and intensive periods on the urban heat island, the urban boundary layer and aerosols. Widely used to evaluate urban canopy schemes such as TEB.
One of the world's longest urban flux records (tower running since 2004, successor to the BUBBLE experiment): half-hourly CO2, heat and momentum fluxes, friction velocity and stability with footprints for 2015–2025.
Long-running tall-tower eddy-covariance records of momentum, sensible and latent heat and CO2 over downtown and suburban Indianapolis, with raw 10 Hz data for turbulence statistics.
