Numerous 2D and 3D sonic anemometers were deployed in, above, and around the Mock Urban Setting Test (MUST) array. MUST consisted of a 10 by 12 aligned array of containers, each 12.2 m long, 2.42 m wide, and 2.54 m high. The array was located in Utahs Great Basin Desert at US Army Dugway Proving Grounds in relatively flat terrain surrounded by low scrub brush. The time-averaged data from these anemometers was bin averaged according to height to produce area-averaged velocity and tke profiles within and above the array. These profiles were then compared with various wind tunnel data and the Cionco urban canopy profile. These area-averaged velocity and tke profiles can be used to verify the accuracy of urban canopy parameterizations in mesoscale meteorological models and urban dispersion codes.
