Including dispersive shear stress in urban environments for single column dispersion models

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: August 30, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-07-02
The data files consist of measurements gathered from EPA's Meteorological Wind Tunnel Laboratory and Large Eddy Simulations (LES). Comparisons are made to the existing formulations in AERMOD, the EPA’s preferred Gaussian dispersion model. A data dictionary for each figure is provided in the zipped file package. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Retter, J., D. Heist, M. Pirhalla, C. Owen, W. Tang, T. Odom, and L. Brouwer. Including Dispersive Shear Stress in Urban Environments for Single Column Dispersion Models. BOUNDARY-LAYER METEOROLOGY. Springer, New York, NY, USA, 191(9): 39, (2025).
