Year-long urban energy-balance and boundary-layer campaign in Toulouse (CAPITOUL)
BenchmarkFieldOn request
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.
Access
The campaign's data website no longer exists, and no copy has been found in the French data centres. Email the campaign leader, Valéry Masson of the CNRM urban climate team at Météo-France, and say which measurements and periods you need.
Harmonised data from a street-level network of 42 automatic weather stations in Freiburg for 2022. Useful for intra-urban temperature and wind variability.
Basel Urban Boundary Layer Experiment, 2001–02: a year-long network of energy-balance towers across urban, suburban and rural sites, with a June–July 2002 intensive period adding a wind profiler, sodar/RASS, lidar, a street-canyon tower and four SF6 tracer releases. A reference for urban roughness-sublayer turbulence and energy balance.
One-minute radiation (direct, global, diffuse, longwave) and basic meteorological data from the Friedrichstadt rooftop station in Berlin during the urbisphere campaign. Useful for urban surface energy balance and model evaluation.
Hourly 2024 observations from 48 automatic weather stations across Shenzhen, including wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity and pressure. Useful for urban climate and wind analysis.
