Turbulent source area model by Korman and Meixner, Boundary-Layer Meteorology 99: 207-224 (2001). Individual model runs were calcualted for each 30 minute interval during the selected period, and the average footprints was calculated by summing individual runs (2 x 2 km raster with 2 m resolution). Maps can be read as follows: the area enclosed for example by the 50% isoline contributes with 50% to the signal measured at tower top, the area enclosed for example by the 80% isoline contributes with 80% to the signal measured at tower top.
