Year-long urban energy-balance and boundary-layer campaign in Toulouse (CAPITOUL)
Benchmark Field On 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.
