In an experiment investigating the planetary boundary layer (PBL) wind and temperature fields, and PBL inversion height recorded by various instruments, the results reveal the presence of organized large eddies (OLE) or rolls. The measurements by lidars, anemometers, soundings and sodar gave an overview of the characteristics of the rolls and sources of energy production that maintain them. The experimental results obtained on two consecutive days are compared to model outputs. The agreement is excellent, showing that thermal stratification and wind shear are important factors in the structure and dynamics of OLE. A heterodyne Doppler lidar (HDL) is shown to be a useful tool in the study of OLE. 相似文献

We present an analysis of data from a nearly 1-year measurement campaign performed at Høvsøre, Denmark, a coastal farmland area where the terrain is flat. Within the easterly sector upstream of the site, the terrain is nearly homogenous. This topography and conditions provide a good basis for the analysis of vertical wind-speed profiles under a wide range of atmospheric stability, turbulence, and forcing conditions. One of the objectives of the campaign was to serve as a benchmark for flow over flat terrain models. The observations consist of combined wind lidar and sonic anemometer measurements at a meteorological mast. The sonic measurements cover the first 100 m and the wind lidar measures above 100 m every 50 m in the vertical. Results of the analysis of observations of the horizontal wind-speed components in the range 10–1200 m and surface turbulence fluxes are illustrated in detail, combined with forcing conditions derived from mesoscale model simulations. Ten different cases are presented. The observed wind profiles approach well the simulated gradient and geostrophic winds close to the simulated boundary-layer height during both barotropic and baroclinic conditions, respectively, except for a low-level jet case, as expected. The simulated winds are also presented for completeness and show good agreement with the measurements, generally underpredicting the turning of the wind in both barotropic and baroclinic cases. 相似文献

The use of sodars in the study of stably stratified flows influenced by terrain is reviewed. We start with the equations of motion governing flow over inclined slopes and describe the relation between acoustic backscatter and local Richardson number. We then discuss sodar observations taken over the east Antarctic ice sheet and in a variety of complex terrain studies. These diverse observations reveal the influence of waves at periods from minutes to hours, the effects of ambient winds aiding and opposing drainage flows, complex phenomena in basin topography, and the breakup of the valley inversions with the onset of solar insolation. 相似文献

Maximum cross-correlation provides a method to remotely determine highly resolved three-dimensional fields of horizontal winds with elastic lidar throughout large volumes of the planetary boundary layer (PBL). This paper details the technique and shows comparisons between elastic lidar winds, remotely sensed laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV) wind profiles, and radiosonde winds. Radiosonde wind data were acquired at Barcelona, Spain, during the Barcelona Air-Quality Initiative (1992), and the LDV wind data were acquired at Sunland Park, New Mexico (N.M.), during the Border Area Air-Quality Study (1994). Comparisons show good agreement between the different instruments, and demonstrate the method useful for air pollution management at the local/regional scale. Elastic lidar winds could thus offer insight into aerosol and pollution transport within the PBL. Lidar wind fields might also be used to nudge or improve initialization and evaluation of atmospheric meteorological models. 相似文献

The atmospheric katabatic flow in the foothills of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains has been monitored by a network of towers and sodars for several years as part of the Atmospheric Studies in COmplex Terrain (ASCOT) program. We used three years of data from the network to explore the dependence on surface cooling and channeling by winds above the canyon of (1) profiles of the mean and variance of the vertical (perpendicular to the geopotential) component of motion and (2) the mean component of the wind perpendicular to the local terrain of Coal Creek Canyon. Previously we found that the magnitude of the near-surface temperature difference decreases with increasing surface cooling in light winds, apparently because of increasing turbulence caused when increasing drainage winds interact with surface topography. The variance of vertical velocity exhibits three types of vertical profiles, corresponding to different cooling rates and external wind speeds. The mean variance was found to depend strongly on a locally derived Richardson number. 相似文献

Measurements in the atmospheric surface layer are generally made with point sensors located in the first few tens of metres.
In most cases, however, these measurements are not representative of the whole surface layer. Standard Doppler sodars allow
a continuous display of the turbulent thermal structure and wind profiles in the boundary layer up to 1000 m, with a few points,
if any, in the surface layer. To overcome these limitations a new sodar configuration is proposed that allows for a higher
resolution in the surface layer. Because of its capabilities (echo recording starting at 2 m, echo intensity vertical resolution
of approximately 2 m, temporal resolution of 1 s) this sodar is called the surface-layer mini-sodar (SLM-sodar). Features
and capabilities of the SLM-sodar are described and compared with the sodar. The comparison of the thermal vertical structure
given by the SLM-sodar and the sodar provides evidence that, in most cases, the surface layer presents a level of complexity
comparable to that of the entire boundary layer. Considering its high vertical resolution, the SLM-sodar is a promising system
for the study of the nocturnal surface layer. The nocturnal SLM-sodar measurements have shown that, depending on wind speed,
the structure of the surface layer may change substantially within a short time period. At night, when the wind speed is greater
than 3 m s−1, mechanical mixing destroys the wavy structure present in the nocturnal layer. Sonic anemometer measurements have shown that,
in such cases, also the sensible heat flux varies with height, reaching a peak in correspondence with the wind speed peak.
Under these conditions the assumption of horizontal homogeneity of the surface layer and the choice of the averaging time
need to be carefully treated. 相似文献

Summary Application of acoustic sounders (sodars) to study the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) began in the early 1970s. During the last two decades the scope of sodars applications enlarged considerably. The proceedings of eleven symposia of the International Society for Remote Acoustic Sensing of the Atmosphere and Oceans (ISARS) are a unique collection of papers, where all directions of the sodar use since 1981 are presented. In this paper, a review of sodar applications to atmospheric research is presented based on materials published in these proceedings in the following fields: conditions of microwave and light propagation; regional climatology of the ABL; air pollution meteorology and weather forecast; mesoscale phenomena under stable and unstable stratification; micrometeorology; peculiarities of the ABL in remote and complex terrain. 相似文献

Observations of the Relation Between Upslope Flows and the Convective Boundary Layer in Steep Terrain 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Slope flow mechanisms are crucial for the transport of air pollutants in complex terrain. Previous observations in sloping terrain showed upslope flows filling the entire convective boundary layer (CBL) and reducing air pollution concentrations by venting air pollutants out of the CBL into the free atmosphere. During the Pacific 2001 Air Quality Field Study in the Lower Fraser Valley, British Columbia, Canada, we observed slope flows during weak synoptic winds, clear skies, and strong daytime solar heating. With a Doppler sodar we measured the three wind components at the foot of a slope having an average angle of 19° and a ridge height of 780 m. We operated a scanning lidar system and a tethersonde at a nearby site on the adjacent plain to measure backscatter of particulate matter, temperature, wind speed, wind direction, and specific humidity. Strong daytime upslope flows of up to 6 m s−1 through a depth of up to 500 m occurred in the lower CBL, but with often equally strong and deep return flows in the upper part of the CBL. The mass transport of upslope flow and return flow approximately balanced over a 4-h morning period, suggesting a closed slope-flow circulation within the CBL. These observations showed that air pollutants can remain trapped within a CBL rather than being vented from the CBL into the free atmosphere. 相似文献

Impact of a sea breeze on the boundary-layer dynamics and the atmospheric stratification in a coastal area of the North Sea 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

In-situ sodar and lidar measurements were coupled with numerical simulations for studying a sea-breeze event in a flat coastal
area of the North Sea. The study’s aims included the recognition of the dynamics of a sea-breeze structure, and its effects
on the lower troposphere stratification and the three-dimensional (3D) pollutant distribution. A sea breeze was observed with
ground-based remote sensing instruments and analysed by means of numerical simulations using the 3D non-hydrostatic atmospheric
model Meso-NH. The vertical structure of the lower troposphere was experimentally determined from the lidar and sodar measurements,
while numerical simulations focused on the propagation of the sea breeze inland. The sea-breeze front, the headwind, the thermal
internal boundary layer, the gravity current and the sea-breeze circulation were observed and analysed. The development of
a late stratification was also observed by the lidar and simulated by the model, suggesting the formation of a stable multilayered
structure. The transport of passive tracers inside the sea breeze and their redistribution above the gravity current was simulated
too. Numerical modelling showed that local pollutants may travel backward to the sea above the gravity current at relatively
low speed due to the shearing between the landward gravity current and the seaward synoptic wind. Such dynamic conditions
may enhance an accumulation of pollutants above coastal industrial areas. 相似文献

Summary Hurricanes cause a variety of damage due to high winds, heavy rains, and storm surges. This study focuses on hurricanes’
high winds. The most devastating effects of sustained high winds occur in the first few hours of landfall. During the short
period, hurricanes’ rainfall often increases, while the low-level pressure gradients continue to weaken. Latent heating does
not appear to strengthen the surface winds. The indicator is that dry mechanisms such as the boundary layer processes and
terrain are responsible for the damaging winds in the coastal areas. In this study, the design of a dry hurricane boundary
layer wind model is described. The goal is to develop a forecast tool with near-real time applications in expeditious wind
damage assessment and disaster mitigation during a hurricane landfall event.
Different surface roughness lengths and topographic features ranging from flat land to the mountainous terrain of Taiwan were
used in the model simulation experiments to reveal how the coastal environment affected the hurricane surface winds. The model
performed quite well in all cases. The experiments suggested that the downward transfer of high momentum aloft played a significant
role in the maintenance of high wind speeds at the surface. The surface wind maximums were observed on the lee sides of high
terrain. The surface streamline analyses showed that the high mountains tended to block the relatively weak flow and caused
small eddies, while they forced the stronger flow to turn around the mountains.
Due to great difficulty in data collection, the hurricane boundary layer over land remains one of the least understood parts
of the system. The dry model proves to be an effective way to study many aspects of hurricane boundary layer winds over a
wide range of terrain features and landfall sites. The model runs efficiently and can be run on a medium-size personal computer.

Summary Hourly measurements of surface winds at Sita Eliya (6° 58′ N, 80° 46′ E, 1860 m a.s.l.) located atop the North-South mountain ridge in Sri Lanka were analyzed to investigate the diurnal and seasonal variation
in the wind climate. Surface winds are dominated by the monsoon regimes, with Northeasterlies from November to January, Southwesterlies
from February to May and Westerlies and Northwesterlies from June to October. Through most of the year, the average wind speed
is around 6–8 m/s. However from June to August, it is around 10–14 m/s. Wind in June is gusty due the location of the low-level
Easterly jet over Sri Lanka. The wind undergoes a reversal in both zonal and meridional directions in March and November coincident
with the migration of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone. Notwithstanding the period from May to September being designated
as the Southwest monsoon, the wind is from West, South-West-West and North-North-West. During the Southwest monsoon, wind
speed during the night is nearly as high as that during the day. This anomalous diurnal variation in wind speeds may be related
to orographic influences. The high wind speeds at Sita Eliya, in conjunction with the moderate diurnal and seasonal variability
in wind speed, is suitable for wind-energy generation.

Comparisons of wind profiles measured with bistatic Doppler sodars below 100 m with in-situ measurements have shown that these sodars underestimate the winds. The possibility of refracted sound contaminating the scattered signals has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. It was found that it is unlikely that refraction of the initial sound burst is the cause of the underestimation of winds at low levels. 相似文献

By analysis of observation data, this paper demonstrates that pollution particles could reduce surface wind speed through
blocking solar radiation to the ground. The comparation between temperature at the lowland meteorological station Xi’an and
that over the nearby highland station Mt. Hua suggests that surface solar radiation at Xi’an is reduced due to the increasing
anthropogenic aerosols. The reduced surface energy suppresses the atmospheric instability and convective flows, and thus the
downward transfer of faster winds aloft is reduced. Consequently, wind speeds near surface are weakened. This reduction of
surface winds is shown by the significant reverse trends of wind speeds over the two stations at different elevations. The
aerosols’ effects on winds are also manifested in the trends of radionsonde wind speed. The decreased surface winds in Xi’an
have also reduced local pan evaporation. 相似文献

Summary This paper presents a brief synopsis of past, current and anticipated progress and problems in the use of acoustic remote
sensing for basic and applied research of the lower atmosphere. The potential and reality of the sodar for determination of
meteorological parameters and turbulence characteristics is discussed. Sodars’ place alongside other ground-based remote sensors,
including radar wind profilers, radioacoustic sounding systems (RASS) and lidars, is elucidated. Areas of atmospheric research
where Doppler sodar has certain advantages are described such as cost, sensitivity, spatial and temporal resolution and surface
layer measurements. The use of sodar in networks of integrated radar/RASS systems designed to supply uninterrupted monitoring
of atmospheric parameters for improvements in forecasts of weather and air quality is demonstrated.
The special potential role of sodar in education and training of specialists is suggested to aid in developing and using new
methods of atmospheric measurements and meeting the requirements of modern environmental science.
A number of problems are formulated whose solution would favor further advancement of acoustic remote sensing in integrated
systems for remote monitoring of the atmospheric boundary layer.

We examine the influence of a modern multi-megawatt wind turbine on wind and turbulence profiles three rotor diameters ( $D$ D ) downwind of the turbine. Light detection and ranging (lidar) wind-profile observations were collected during summer 2011 in an operating wind farm in central Iowa at 20-m vertical intervals from 40 to 220 m above the surface. After a calibration period during which two lidars were operated next to each other, one lidar was located approximately $2D$ 2 D directly south of a wind turbine; the other lidar was moved approximately $3D$ 3 D north of the same wind turbine. Data from the two lidars during southerly flow conditions enabled the simultaneous capture of inflow and wake conditions. The inflow wind and turbulence profiles exhibit strong variability with atmospheric stability: daytime profiles are well-mixed with little shear and strong turbulence, while nighttime profiles exhibit minimal turbulence and considerable shear across the rotor disk region and above. Consistent with the observations available from other studies and with wind-tunnel and large-eddy simulation studies, measurable reductions in wake wind-speeds occur at heights spanning the wind turbine rotor (43–117 m), and turbulent quantities increase in the wake. In generalizing these results as a function of inflow wind speed, we find the wind-speed deficit in the wake is largest at hub height or just above, and the maximum deficit occurs when wind speeds are below the rated speed for the turbine. Similarly, the maximum enhancement of turbulence kinetic energy and turbulence intensity occurs at hub height, although observations at the top of the rotor disk do not allow assessment of turbulence in that region. The wind shear below turbine hub height (quantified here with the power-law coefficient) is found to be a useful parameter to identify whether a downwind lidar observes turbine wake or free-flow conditions. These field observations provide data for validating turbine-wake models and wind-tunnel observations, and for guiding assessments of the impacts of wakes on surface turbulent fluxes or surface temperatures downwind of turbines. 相似文献

The characteristics of wind speed and wind direction in the boundary atmospheric layer measured at the meteorological station
in Akhtopol (Bulgaria) are presented. The measurements were carried out with the Scintec sodar and MK-15 automatic meteorological
station. The sodar measurement data on wind parameters at different heights in different months are presented as well as the
frequency of inshore and offshore wind directions, that enables to trace the intensity of the breeze circulation. The frequency
of calms and wind speeds at the heights of 50, 100, and 200 m according to gradations for different months and the probability
of wind of various speeds depending on the direction are also given. The breeze front characteristics in June–September of
2009 are computed from the speed and direction of surface wind measured with the acoustic anemometer of MK-15 complex. 相似文献
