Tracer and meteorology field campaign in downtown Oklahoma City (Joint Urban 2003)
Benchmark Field On request
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.
How to get the data
