Short summary

We present data from a network of towers used to study the exchange of heat, water vapor, and carbon dioxide between the surface and atmosphere in and around the city of Indianapolis, IN, USA. We explain what was measured, how we checked data quality, and why these observations improve our overall understanding of the urban environment.
