TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a brief history of the Vancouver-Sunset micrometeorological tower and highlight some of the ongoing research on urban trace-gas flux measurements to validate fine-scale emission models.
Abstract: The ‘Sunset’ neigborhood in Vancouver, BC, may be the most extensively studied area in urban climatology. Since 1977, about 50 papers have been published that focus on flux measurements, land-atmosphere exchange, and models developed using data gathered on and around the ‘Vancouver-Sunset’ micrometeorological tower. This newsletter contribution aims to provide a brief history of this unique flux tower, show how selected developments in urban climatology were linked to work at this site, and highlight some of the ongoing research on urban trace-gas flux measurements to validate fine-scale emission models.
