Hi all,
I am a phd student desperate for some unsteady atmospheric dispersion data to validate my CFD model and data assimilation methods (include source estimation).
I have spent a lot of time in seeking data online, and I find the following datasets:
- CODASC by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
- CEDVAL wind tunnel experiment by Universität Hamburg
- Benchmark tests from Architectural Institute of Japan
- some datasets for the Gaussian plume model like those collected by www.jsirwin.com.
Those are all fantastic datasets for steady state dispersion. However, as I have to test my data assimilation and source estimation methods, some unsteady atmospheric dispersion data are needed.
I noticed that the following three datasets are widely used for source estimation:
- Joint Urban 2003
- MUST
- FUSION Field Trial 2007 (FFT07)
However, It seems that it is difficult for phd students like me who just start their research career to obtain those datasets? Actually, I have accomplished a little work about CFD modelling and source estimation for atmospheric dispersion. Now I really need the data.
Could someone give me a hand?

Yan Wang
Probably you could use the CUTE or the AGREE experiment that can be found in http://www.elizas.eu/index.php/data-set-contacts.html. Maybe also the UDINEE http://udinee.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ could have data.
Yan,
There is some data from the Thorney Island trials, referenced in e.g. http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Fotis_Rigas/publication/8622371_Validation_of_turbulence_models_in_heavy_gas_dispersion_over_obstacles/links/0c960517fdc30acca3000000.pdf

Hi Yan, I am also after these datasets. Have you been successful in getting any of the joint urban, must or fft07 data?

Hi Michael,
I stopped trying and have been engaged in some experiment work and playing with some steady state dispersion datasets like CODASC and Prairie Grass. But I am still interested in those three datasets you mentioned above.
I remembered that both joint urban 2003 and FFT07 can be applied for on a website belonging to the US army. But unfortunately my application received no response (From the application form, it seems that they only distribute the datasets to those who already have a good reputation in the field of atmospheric dispersion. I am not sure). And more unfortunately, I am even unable to find the website now.
Please update me if you have any progress.
Regards,
Yan
I will let you know if I make any progress.
Good luck with your research.

Thank you very much although it can not been opened now. I will try later.
Joint Urban 2003 is now available via: http://www.noaa.inel.gov/docs/JointUrban2003/
