N1 - Funding Information: The STINHO project was performed as a part of the VERTICO (vertical transports of energy and trace gases at anchor stations under complex natural conditions) network which has been funded by the German Fed- eral Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in the framework of the AFO-2000 research programme (grant No. 07ATF37). We would like to thank our colleagues in the VER- TICO network for their support of the STINHO-2 ex- periment, in particular Th. CONRATH (Institute for Tro- pospheric Profiling, Leipzig) for the realisation of the scintillometer measurements. We wish to acknowledge the staff of the Meteoro- logical Observatory Lindenberg of the DWD for their efforts in arranging the logistics for the field experiment and for providing data from basic and additional mea- surements. Special thanks go to U. G ̈ORSDORF (DWD) for providing the composite profiles. Special thanks also go to student assistants from the Leipzig Institute of Me- teorology. We are much obliged to FJS Helicopter Ser- vice in Damme. The reproduction of the topographic maps was made possible with kind permission of the Landesvermes- sungsamt Brandenburg, No. GB 57/01.

N2 - A micrometeorological field experiment was performed within the frame of the STINHO-project (structure of turbulent transport under inhomogeneous conditions) at the boundary layer field site of the Meteorological Observatory Lindenberg of the German Meteorological Service (Deutscher Wetterdienst) in the summer of 2002 in order to investigate the interaction of thermally heterogeneous surfaces with the turbulent atmosphere. The intention was to compare conventional meteorological point and vertically integrated measurements with area-covering air flow observations and numerical simulations. To observe horizontally variable flow and temperature fields above a heterogeneous land surface, simultaneous acoustic methods (travel time tomography), optical observation methods (IR-camera and line-integrated scintillometer- measurements), as well as the airborne measurement system Helipod were used. The data set will be applied in future to validate large-eddy simulations adjusted to the area of investigation.
