Pre-processing of meteorological data: vertical profiles

In the framework of COST-710, working group III aims to recommend formulations of atmospheric vertical profiles of wind, temperature and turbulence. This intermediate report gives a brief overview of existing methods to calculate vertical profiles. A short note on existing datasets for validation purposes is given.

Keywords: atmospheric turbulence, turbulence time-, scale, vertical profiles, atmospheric dispersion models, air pollution, environmental pollution, modelling, meteorological data, wind, temperature
