Multi-city Urban Hydroclimate Data (MUHD) - Meta data for observations Release 2022-03-21. Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13134582

The data have been used in a number of papers (section 4). The work was made possible by a number of grants (Section 3). These are gratefully acknowledged.

A wide range of people have contributed to this work. They are (hopefully) all identified in individual papers (section 4) and the Grimmond et al. (2022) report.
