Urban, suburban and rural flux, profile and tracer measurements in Basel (BUBBLE)
Benchmark Field On request
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.
How to get the data
The old public download (the BUBBLE intensive-period data package) is no longer online. Email Andreas Christen, now at the University of Freiburg, who curated the data package during BUBBLE, and say which sites, periods and variables you need.
