Fourth and last intense measurement campaign by 3DO
In June and July 2018, the fourth and final intense measurement campaign took place in Stuttgart and Berlin. In Hamburg the researchers will measure from mid-August to mid-September. Again, valuable data on air pollutants (e.g. nitrogen dioxide, ozone, particulate matter) and meteorological variables (e.g. wind, humidity and air temperature) could be gained.
In Berlin, as in last summer, focus was set on the acquisition of meteorological variables that are relevant for human bio-climate. This summer has clearly shown the stressful impact on humans of very hot days and the lack of cooling at night.
The data will be used, among other things, to validate the newly developed urban climate model PALM-4U (see Module A: MOSAIK). For further information click here.
