The MUST (Mock Urban Setting Test) Experiment

MUST (Mock Urban Setting Test): This was a large international field experiment sponsored by the DOD and DOE. This field campagaign was run in September 2001 at Dugway Proving Ground in western Utah. The focus of this experiment was to better characterize tranport and dispersion of plumes around buildings at very large Reynolds numbers. The experiments have provided new data sets for modelers as well as insight to the physical trasport mechanisms at work within and around the Urban Canopy.
