Urban eddy-covariance fluxes and turbulence near highways in Chicago (CROCUS)
Field
30-minute fluxes of momentum, heat, water vapour and CO2, plus raw 10 Hz sonic data, from a site among highways and buildings at UIC; part of the Chicago CROCUS network, which also runs Doppler lidar and SODAR (open but raw, not quality-controlled).
Not stated: check the repository before reusing the data.

DTRA/DHS field study in July 2003: ten 8-hour intensive periods of SF6 releases in the central business district, sampled by 194 bag samplers and 25 fast-response analysers, with winds and turbulence measured at about 100 sites. A classic real-city dispersion benchmark.
Classic multiscale urban dispersion campaign: SF6 and perfluorocarbon tracer releases with meteorology around a single building, across the downtown grid and over the wider city, mostly in stable night-time conditions. Files are openly downloadable by IOP.
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.
