The current list is a modest beginning. Please extend it...

• List of individual data sets. A separate page on this Wiki, providing a list of links to data sets.

• DAM (http://rem.jrc.cec.eu.int/dam): Data sets for Atmospheric Modelling. A Web site providing information on and access to experimental data sets relevant for dispersion modellers More than 100 data sets are catalogued. The Web site resides at the European Joint Research Centre at Ispra.

• CEDVALis a compilation of mainly wind tunnel data sets that can be used for validation of numerical dispersion models. The compilation is managed by the wind tunnel research group of the Meteorological Institute at the University of Hamburg

• The Model Validation Kit developed in the context of the initiative on Harmonisation within Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling for Regulatory Purposes includes 4 data sets - as well as tools for model evaluation that have been widely used internationally. The data sets represent classic cases where where a single source emits a tracer towards several arcs of monitors (Kincaid, Indianapolis, Copenhagen, Lillestrom).

• 18 data sets used by US EPA for evaluation of AERMOD - some with building downwash.

• DataFed air quality dataset mediator - catalog, metadata about datasets and processor - all datasets can be viewed in Google Earth as well.
