Title Doppler Wind Lidar and sonic anemometer data used in a study of tall building wakes in London 
Description The datafile contains data as used in the accompanying paper "Observations of tall-building wakes using a scanning Doppler lidar" by Natalie Theeuwes et al. (2024, preprint). The measurements were made as part of the MAGIC field campaign (Song et al., 2018, Building Research Information). The paper was completed during and influenced by results of the EPSRC-funded FUTURE project, in which co-authors Barlow and Robins are co-investigators. Please see the paper for all details of analysis.

Title urbisphere-Berlin campaign BAMS data repository 
Description This data set accompanies Fenner et al. (2024) and contains the data (and references to data sources) of the plots and tables therein. Data are organized by Figure and Table in the article, each located in a separate (zip-)folder. See README.pdf for additional information and data descriptions. Detailed data processing details are given in the Appendices of the article. RAW measurement data are accessible via the Zenodo "urbisphere" community.   Fenner, D., Christen, A., Grimmond, S., Meier, F., Morrison, W., Zeeman, M., Barlow, J., Birkmann, J., Blunn, L., Chrysoulakis, N., Clements, M., Glazer, R., Hertwig, D., Kotthaus, S., König, K., Looschelders, D., Mitraka, Z., Poursanidis, D., Tsirantonakis, D., Bechtel, B., Benjamin, K., Beyrich, F., Briegel, F., Feigel, G., Gertsen, C., Iqbal, N., Kittner, J., Lean, H., Liu, Y., Luo, Z., McGrory, M., Metzger, S., Paskin, M., Ravan, M., Ruhtz, T., Saunders, B., Scherer, D., Smith, S.

Results and Impact The Urban Fluid Mechanics (UFM) network consists of academics, industry people, and professional engineering institutions people. Meetings happen at least once per year and have resumed in person mode following the Covid lockdowns. The 2023 was the first in-person meeting since 2020. Research talks and posters were presented, group discussions about topics of wider practical interest. Strong involvement by non-academic members (wind engineering companies, structural engineers, fluid mechanics simulation consultants, computational fluid mechanics companies, etc). Talks about the FUTURE project were given, discussion getting feedback from the community was had which fed into project planning. Discussions with company RWDI led to an MSc project at Reading University.
