Abstract. Twenty urban neighbourhood-scale eddy covariance flux tower datasets have been harmonized and quality controlled, producing a 50 site-year collection with broad diversity in climate and urban surface characteristics. Observations are gap-filled and prepended with 10 years of reanalysis-derived local data to enable use as spin up and forcing for land surface model evaluation. For both gap filling and spin-up, ERA5 reanalysis meteorological data are bias corrected using tower observations, accounting for diurnal, seasonal and local urban effects not modelled in ERA5. The bias correction methods developed perform well compared to methods used in other datasets (e.g. WFDE5 or FLUXNET2015 linear regression). Site description metadata includes local land cover fractions (buildings, roads, trees, grass etc.), building height and morphology, aerodynamic roughness estimates, population density and satellite imagery. Together, this collection can help extend our understanding of urban environmental processes through observational synthesis studies or in the evaluation of land surface environmental models in a wide range of urban settings.
