Description
Summary:Perfluorocarbon tracer experiments have been undertaken to study atmospheric dispersion mechanisms on urban and regional scales. Urban experiments have been undertaken in central London and central Manchester, United Kingdom, in order to investigate flow and dispersion patterns in street networks with source-receptor distances ranging from >100 m up to 1300 m. Substantial data sets have been produced.
