Comprehensive data on weather, climate and air quality in cities are unfortunately still available to a limited extent. Within the framework of the BMBF programme [UC]2 Module B will process available data and collect new or missing data utilizing long-term measurements, intensive measurement campaigns and physical modelling. To support the exchange of observation and model data between the project partners beyond the module boundaries, e.g. for the validation of the newly developed urban climate model PALM-4U or urban climatological and scientific studies, this data management system (DMS) was developed within the research programme.
If you have an account, you can upload and download data that meets the requirements of the upload page. If not logged in, you can see and download data that is publishedunder open licences. Please refer to the data standard and the data policy, linked below, for more Information.

The use of a uniform data format, as well as binding conventions for the use of data and metadata is, an essential prerequisite for their effective and efficient administration in the DMS. Also, a uniform data standard also enables the development and provision of innovative tools for the analysis and visualization of complex and very heterogeneous data.
After completion of the programme, data published under open licences will remain publicly available.
