The effect of averaging time on velocity variances 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Prof. Dr. H. A. Panofsky 《Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics》1988,38(1-2):64-69
Summary Based on recent spectral models, relations have been proposed between the variances of vertical and lateral velocities and averaging time. A few observations agree reasonably well with the models. The popular 0.2 power law for standard deviations is valid only for the lateral velocity under unstable conditions, particularly for short periods. For periods exceedings five minutes or so, the variation becomes slower unless the winds are very light and the boundary layer is thick. For neutral and slightly stable conditions the variation of standard deviation, with averaging time from five minutes to sixteen minutes, is so slow that it can be neglected for practical applications. The same is generally true for vertical velocity fluctuations.With 3 FiguresWe just received word that our collegue and good friend died on February 28, 1988. 相似文献

Spectra and variances of velocity components and pressure in stable air were analyzed at the 300 m tower of the BAO.Spectra in very stable air in light winds usually contain low-frequency fluctuations of large magnitude, and high-frequency fluctuations with considerably less energy, separated by a gap. The wave-length of the gap follows Monin-Obukhov scaling.The high-frequency portion of the spectra has characteristics of turbulence.The low-frequency energy is almost certainly due to gravity waves, since there is coherence between vertical velocities and temperatures, and since surface pressure time series resemble time series of velocity components at the higher levels on the tower.Variances of surface pressure changes appear to be positively correlated with variances of vertical velocity above 100 m, and also to some extent, with horizontal velocity components at all levels. Those results have applications to diffusion estimates from continuous elevated sources, but need confirmation on the basis of measurements elsewhere and additional analyses at BAO.Returned to Inst. of Atmospheric Physics, Academia Sinica, Beijing, China.Retired September 1, 1982. 相似文献

Information concerning the average wind speed and the variances of lateral and longitudinal wind velocity fluctuations is
required by dispersion models to characterise turbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer. When the winds are weak, the scalar
average wind speed and the vector average wind speed need to be clearly distinguished and both lateral and longitudinal wind
velocity fluctuations assume equal importance in dispersion calculations. We examine commonly-used methods of estimating these
variances from wind-speed and wind-direction statistics measured separately, for example, by a cup anemometer and a wind vane,
and evaluate the implied relationship between the scalar and vector wind speeds, using measurements taken under low-wind stable
conditions. We highlight several inconsistencies inherent in the existing formulations and show that the widely-used assumption
that the lateral velocity variance is equal to the longitudinal velocity variance is not necessarily true. We derive improved
relations for the two variances, and although data under stable stratification are considered for comparison, our analysis
is applicable more generally. 相似文献

Characteristics of Submeso Winds in the Stable Boundary Layer 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0
Larry Mahrt 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》2009,130(1):1-14
The characteristics of submeso motions in the stable boundary layer are examined using observations from networks of sonic
anemometers with network sizes ranging from a few hundred metres to 100 km. This study examines variations on time scales
between 1 min and 1 h. The analysis focuses on the behaviour of the spectra of the horizontal kinetic energy, the ratios of
the three velocity variances, their kurtosis, the dependence of horizontal variability on time scale, and the inter-relationship
between vertical vorticity, horizontal divergence and deformation. Motions on larger time and space scales in the stable boundary
layer are found to be nearly two-dimensional horizontal modes although the ratio of the vorticity to the divergence is generally
on the order of one and independent of scale. One exception is a small network where stronger horizontal divergence is forced
by a decrease in surface roughness. The horizontal variability, averaged over 1 h, appears to be strongly influenced by surface
heterogeneity and increases with wind speed. In contrast, the time dependence of the horizontal structure on time scales less
than one hour tends to be independent of wind speed for the present datasets. The spectra of the horizontal kinetic energy
and the ratio of the crosswind velocity variance to the along-wind variance vary substantially between networks. This study
was unable to isolate the cause of such differences. As a result, the basic behaviour of the submeso motions in the stable
boundary layer cannot be generalized into a universal theory, at least not from existing data. 相似文献

Often, a combination of waves and turbulence is present in the stably stratified atmospheric boundary layer. The presence of waves manifest itself in the vertical profiles of variances of fluctuations and in low-frequency contributions to the power spectra. In this paper we study internal waves by means of a linear stability analysis of the mean profiles in a stably stratified boundary layer and compare the results with observed vertical variance profiles of fluctuating wind and temperature along a 200 m mast. The linear stability analysis shows that the observed mean flow is unstable for disturbances in a certain frequency and wavenumber domain. These disturbances are expected to the detectable in the measurements. It is shown that indeed the calculated unstable frequencies are present in the observed spectra. Furthermore, the shape of the measured vertical variance profiles, which increase with height, is explained well by the calculated vertical structure of the amplitude of unstable Kelvin-Helmholtz waves, confirming the contribution of waves to the variances. Because turbulence and waves have quite distinct transport properties, estimates of diffusion from measurements of variances would strongly overestimate this diffusion. Therefore it is important to distinguish between them. 相似文献

Nocturnal Boundary-Layer Regimes 总被引：17，自引：6，他引：11
L. Mahrt 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1998,88(2):255-278
This study analyzes turbulence data collected over a grassland site in the nocturnal boundary layer. Examination of the dependence of the nocturnal boundary layer on stability suggests three regimes: a) the weakly stable case, b) a transition stability regime where many of the variables change rapidly with increasing stability and c) the very stable case. The value of z/L where the downward heat flux is a maximum defines the stability boundary between the weakly stable and transition regimes, where L is the Obukhov length. In the present analysis, the downward heat flux reaches a maximum at z/L approximately equal to 0.05 for 10 m, although comparison with other data indicates that this is not a universal value. For weaker stability, the heat flux decreases with decreasing z/L due to weaker temperature fluctuations. In the transition stability regime, the heat flux decreases rapidly with increasing stability due to restriction of vertical velocity fluctuations by the increasing stratification.For weakly stable conditions, the variances scale according to Monin-Obukhov similarity theory. For very stable conditions, the variances are contaminated by non-turbulent horizontal motions and do not follow the scaling laws. An alternative length scale based on variances is developed which explains more of the variance of the transfer coefficients compared to the Obukhov length. 相似文献

Effects of wind on quasi-steady, shallow convection in the Martian boundary layer are studied using a large-eddy simulation
model. Convection in the model is generated by the radiative flux divergence and the strength of the surface heat flux, which
do not vary in time. The resulting convective boundary layer exhibits transient, irregular, horizontal cellular structures,
transported by wind, and a lack of well-pronounced regular horizontal rolls, observed for analogous conditions on Earth. The
dimensionless statistics of turbulence are generally similar to those generated in the windless conditions, and depend on
the ratio F, defined in terms of the integrated radiative and turbulent heating rates in the boundary layer. The simulations show that
variations of the radiative heating influence the temperature statistics, while their effects on the wind velocity are relatively
small. The horizontal velocity variances do not show a strong dependence on parameter F, in contrast with the vertical velocity variances, which are strongly dependent on F. 相似文献

The effects of a pressure jump and a following internal gravity wave on turbulence and plume diffusion in the stable planetary
boundary layer are examined. The pressure jump was accompanied by a sudden increase in turbulence and plume dispersion. The
effects of wave perturbations on turbulence statistics are analysed by calculating fluxes and variances with and without the
wave signal for averaging times ranging from 1 to 30 min. The wave signals are obtained using a band-pass filter. It is shown
that second-order turbulence quantities calculated without first subtracting the wave perturbations from the time are greater
than those calculated when the wave signal is separated from the turbulence. Estimates of the vertical dispersion of an elevated
tracer plume in the stable boundary layer are made using an elastic backscatter lidar. Plume dispersion observed 25 m downwind
of the source increases rapidly with the arrival of the flow disturbances. Measured plume dispersion and plume centreline
height correlate with the standard deviation of the vertical velocity but not with the wave signal. 相似文献

The Characteristics of Turbulence Structure and Transfer over the Middle Area of the Tibetan Plateau 
下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 In this paper, turbulent data obtained from the Damxung site during the Secondary Tibetan Plateau Science Experiment (TIPEX) in 1998 are used to study the characteristics of the turbulent spectra, turbulence transport, and the dissipation rates of turbulent kinetic energy, temperature variance, and humidity variance in the middle area of the Tibetan Plateau. The turbulent spectra of wind velocity, potential temperature, and humidity satisfy the-2/3 power law in the high frequency range. Horizontal transportation of heat and water vapor is negligible compared with vertical transportation under strong unstable conditions, and as the stability parameter z/L increases (where z is the observational height, and L is the Monin Obukhov length), horizontal transportation becomes dominant under near-neutral, neutral, and stable conditions. The non-dimensional temperature and humidity variances are 20% less than the temperature and humidity gradient variances. These deficits appear to increase as the absolute stability parameter increases. Moreover, the effects of turbulence transportation and pressure variance exist throughout the entire stability region. 相似文献

Summary The effects of internal waves on the propagation of acoustic pulses in the lower atmosphere were studied theoretically and by acoustic pulse sounding of the stable atmospheric boundary layer. Due to a control in the experiments of the stratification and time variations of meteorological parameters, such as wind speed, temperature and atmospheric pressure, we were able to observe the influence of the variations of these parameters on a pulse wave form, travel time and time duration. For the travel time and wind speed variations we obtained statistical characteristics (variances, frequency spectra and coherences) in the range of periods from 1 min to 1h and found several dominant periods, which are inherent to the trapped internal waves in the lower atmosphere. Using a nonlinear model of internal wave spectrum in the atmosphere described here we have made the calculations of variances, frequency spectra and structure functions of travel time fluctuations, which allowed us to interpret some of the observed data. 相似文献

Until recently, pollution dispersion models have made predictions on the basis that the pollutant concentration is Gaussian. Such is not the case for convective conditions where the observed vertical velocity distribution is skewed towards the updraught portion of the distribution. One recent dispersion model assumes that the observed distribution can be synthesized by superimposing two Gaussians of appropriate means, variances and amplitudes.In the current paper, two techniques for deriving the constituent distributions are investigated. The first technique is based on conditionally sampling the vertical velocity time series and partitioning the vertical velocity samples into two sets — one set recorded when the sensor was experiencing an updraught and the other when the sensor was experiencing a downdraught. The second method consists of fitting two Gaussian distributions to the observed data and adjusting these using an iterative procedure until a specified tolerance is achieved.Both techniques give similar results which compare favourably with results obtained by other researchers. Assumptions, as well as advantages and disadvantages of each technique are also discussed. 相似文献

A case study of Kelvin-Helmholtz waves which were observed by two aircraft in a warm off-shore stable boundary-layer flow over the North Sea is presented. During the one-hour flight mission within an area of 40 × 40 km2, the waves were intermittent both in space and time. They were centered around two levels, at 90 and 330m, where inflection points in the mean profile of the cross-wave wind component occurred together with Richardson numbers smaller than the critical value of 0.25. Observed wave amplitudes were on the order of 0.1 K for the potential temperature, 0.15ms-1 for the vertical wind component, 0.3ms-1 for the cross-wave wind component and 0.15ms-1 for the along-wave wind component. Horizontally averaged vertical wave transports were down-gradient.Based on the observed wind and temperature profiles, wave simulations with a linear model are performed. Different diffusion coefficient estimates are tested. The model produces two types of Kelvin-Helmholtz waves with maximum amplitudes at the above mentioned two heights. The modeled wavelengths are about 30% shorter than the observed ones. Adjusting the modeled to the observed temperature variations, the modeled vertical wind variance and the vertical transports agree well with the observations, whereas the modeled horizontal wind variances are smaller than the observed ones. 相似文献

A conditional sampling technique using a multilevel scheme was applied to the detection of temperature and humidity microfronts and organized ejection/sweep motions under different atmospheric stabilities. Data were obtained with seven triaxial sonic anemometer/thermometers and three Lyman-alpha hygrometers within and above a deciduous forest. Both temperature and humidity microfronts were identified in unstable cases, but only humidity microfronts could be detected under neutral conditions. Inverted temperature ramps occurred under slightly stable conditions. Occasionally, wave-like patterns appeared within the canopy, seemingly coupled with inverse ramps occurring above the forest. The frequency of occurrence of scalar microfronts appears to have no clear dependence on atmospheric stability, and averages 74–84 s per cycle with a mode of about 50 s per cycle. However, the strength of ejections and sweeps, shown by the vertical velocity averaged within structures, was reduced by increasing atmospheric stability. Structures identified under different stabilities show many similarities in their patterns of scalar ramps, and associated velocity and surface pressure. Profiles of short-term averaged longitudinal velocity at different times during the microfront passage show that the air within the canopy was retarded and an intensified shear above the canopy occurred prior to the passage of the microfront. Results from the present conditional analysis strongly suggest an important role of shear instability in the formation of canopy coherent structure. 相似文献

Near-instantaneous vertical scans ofpower plant plumes, sampled by a lidar over three days as part ofthe 1995 Kwinana Coastal Fumigation Study, are analysed to obtainhourly-averaged total dispersion moments up to fourth order, andalso the relative and meander spreads. Two distinct fumigationcases, termed as neutral and stable cases, are observed dependingon whether the plume transport prior to fumigation takes place ina neutral atmosphere, or in a stable region above the neutralatmosphere. Plumes in the stable case are observed to undergoslower fumigation. The mean spreads display contrasting behavioursfor the two fumigating cases, while the vertical skewness shows anegative peak value of about -1 for the neutral case and -2for the stable case in the fumigation zone. The lateral skewnessis positive with a peak value of about unity for both cases, andis attributed to wind directional shear within the thermalinternal boundary layer. The vertical kurtosis is greater than theGaussian value of 3 in the fumigation zone, while the lateralkurtosis is scattered about this value. A recently-developedskewed probability density function model with wind shear isapplied to describe the fumigation data. Overall, the modelsimulates the observed vertical and lateral statistics well up tothe fourth order, except for the lateral skewness and kurtosisvalues in the stable case, which is probably due to the lidar'srange and sensitivity constraints and an inadequate sample size.Although the lateral turbulent diffusion in the model is Gaussian(i.e., zero skewness), the inclusion of wind shear in the model ismanifested in the predicted lateral skewness being greater thanzero in the fumigation zone, and of similar magnitude to the lidardata in the neutral case. 相似文献

Early studies of mountain waves reported various results that have rarely been investigated since. These include: large-amplitude mountain waves above an unstable boundary layer much higher than the mountains; a repeated downwind drift and upwind jump of mountain waves; and larger vertical wind magnitude near sunrise and/or sunset. These are investigated using over 3,000 radiosondes and meso-strato-troposphere (MST) radar. Superadiabatic temperature gradients are found beneath mountain waves, explainable by convection which appears to raise the mountain-wave launching height. Movement of mountain-wave patterns is studied by a new method using height–time vertical wind data. A swaying motion of mountain waves, with period of a few minutes, appears to be equally upwind and downwind, rather than asymmetric at the heights measurable. Also, vertical wind shows no change in mean, variance or extreme values near sunrise and sunset, despite the expected diurnal changes of boundary-layer structure. An explanation for differences between MST radar and other measurements and models of mountain waves is suggested in terms of more than one variety of mountain wave. Type 1 has stable air near the ground; type 2 is above a convective/turbulent boundary layer of significant height as compared to the mountains. 相似文献
