Abstract

It is common believe that field data are best be suited for the purpose of model calibration and validation since they
represent the ‘truth’. At the example of field data from several urban measurement campaigns, it will be demonstrated that this
believe is rather a fiction. As will be pointed out, data sampled within the urban canopy layer exhibit a large inherent variability.
They are very distinct from those a numerical model produces. This makes comparisons of model results with data a challenging
task.
