全世界城市气象观测不足，阻碍了在了解和减轻城市气象灾害和极端情况方面取得进展。需要高质量的城市数据集来监测气候事件的影响，同时为数值模式的评估提供数据。伯明翰城市气候实验室的建立是为了满足城市冠层观测的需求。它由84个无线气温传感器组成，嵌套在24个自动气象站的粗略阵列中，在2012年6月至2014年12月期间进行观测。数据定期接受质量控制，遵循ISO 8601命名格式，并受益于广泛的网站元数据。这些数据已被用来调查伯明翰的城市热岛结构及其相关的社会和基础设施的影响。该网络目前正被重新用于评估众包数据和卫星数据的试验平台，但原始数据集现在可供进一步分析，并公开邀请其学术用途。
There is a paucity of urban meteorological observations worldwide, hindering progress in understanding and mitigating urban meteorological hazards and extremes. High quality urban datasets are required to monitor the impacts of climatological events, whilst providing data for evaluation of numerical models. The Birmingham Urban Climate Laboratory was established as an exemplar network to meet this demand for urban canopy layer observations. It comprises of an array of 84 wireless air temperature sensors nested within a coarser array of 24 automatic weather stations, with observations available between June 2012 and December 2014. data routinely underwent quality control, follows the ISO 8601 naming format and benefits from extensive site metadata. The data have been used to investigate the structure of the urban heat island in Birmingham and its associated societal and infrastructural impacts. The network is now being repurposed into a testbed for the assessment of crowd-sourced and satellite data, but the original dataset is now available for further analysis, and an open invitation is extended for its academic use.
