The determination of nocturnal surface fluxes in low wind conditions is a major problem for micrometeorological studies. The
eddy correlation technique, extensively used in field measurements, becomes inappropriate if not enough turbulent activity
exists. At the same time, the phenomenon of turbulence intermittency is responsible for the existence of localized events
of short duration within which a large fraction of the total nighttime scalar exchange occurs. The scalar flux within a certain
intermittent event varies considerably depending on the window used for the flux calculation. In many cases, events with very
different time durations occur in the same night, and therefore, the proper determination of the surface flux would require
averaging within data windows of different sizes for each event. In this work, the surface exchanges of temperature, moisture
and carbon dioxide are analysed at a micrometeorological tower at southern Brazil. Intermittent turbulence is a common occurrence
at the location. The analysis shows that the fluxes vary with turbulence intensity and the estimation technique. A variable-window
size method for flux estimation is suggested and shown to cause an increase in the magnitude of the nocturnal surface fluxes 相似文献

Eulerian turbulence observations, madein the surface layer under unstable conditions (z/L > 0),by a sonic anemometer were used to estimatethe Lagrangian structure function constant O. Twomethods were considered. The first one makes use of arelationship, widely used in the Lagrangian stochasticdispersion models, relating O to the turbulent kineticenergy dissipation rate , wind velocity variance andLagrangian decorrelation time. The second one employsa novel equation, connecting O to the constant of thesecond-order Eulerian structure function. Beforeestimating O, the measurements were processed in orderto discard non-stationary cases at least to a firstapproximation and cases in which local isotropy couldnot be assumed. The dissipation was estimated eitherfrom the best fit of the energy spectrum in theinertial subrange or from the best fit of the third-orderlongitudinal Eulerian structure function. Thefirst method was preferred and applied to the subsequentpart of the analysis. Both methods predict thepartitioning of O in different spatial components as aconsequence of the directional dependence of theEulerian correlation functions due to the isotropy.The O values computed by both methods are presented anddiscussed. In conclusion, both methods providerealistic estimates of O that compare well withprevious estimations reported in the literature, evenif a preference is to be attributed to the second method. 相似文献

The Coupling State of an Idealized Stable Boundary Layer 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

The coupling state between the surface and the top of the stable boundary layer (SBL) is investigated using four different schemes to represent the turbulent exchange. An idealized SBL is assumed, with fixed wind speed and temperature at its top. At the surface, two cases are considered, first a constant temperature, 20 K lower than the SBL top, and later a constant 2 K h−1 cooling rate is assumed for 10 h after a neutral initial condition. The idealized conditions have been chosen to isolate the influence of the turbulence formulations on the coupling state, and the intense stratification has the purpose of enhancing such a response. The formulations compared are those that solve a prognostic equation for turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) and those that directly prescribe turbulence intensity as a function of atmospheric stability. Two TKE formulations are considered, with and without a dependence of the exchange coefficients on stability, while short and long tail stability functions (SFs) are also compared. In each case, the dependence on the wind speed at the SBL top is considered and it is shown that, for all formulations, the SBL experiences a transition from a decoupled state to a coupled state at an intermediate value of mechanical forcing. The vertical profiles of potential temperature, wind speed and turbulence intensity are shown as a function of the wind speed at the SBL top, both for the decoupled and coupled states. The formulation influence on the coupling state is analyzed and it is concluded that, in general, the simple TKE formulation has a better response, although it also tends to overestimate turbulent mixing. The consequences are discussed. 相似文献

A variable vertical mesh spacing for large-eddy simulation (LES) models in a convective boundary layer (CBL) is proposed.
The argument is based on the fact that in the vertical direction the turbulence near the surface in a CBL is inhomogeneous
and therefore the subfilter-scale effects depend on the relative location between the spectral peak of the vertical velocity
and the filter cut-off wavelength. From the physical point of view, this lack of homogeneity makes the vertical mesh spacing
the principal length scale and, as a consequence, the LES filter cut-off wavenumber is expressed in terms of this characteristic
length scale. Assuming that the inertial subrange initial frequency is equal to the LES filter cut-off frequency and employing
fitting expressions that describe the observed convective turbulent energy one-dimensional spectra, it is feasible to derive
a relation to calculate the variable vertical mesh spacing. The incorporation of this variable vertical grid within a LES
model shows that both the mean quantities (and their gradients) and the turbulent statistics quantities are well described
near to the ground level, where the LES predictions are known to be a challenging task. 相似文献

A major factor that influences the diurnal variation of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) is the sensible heat flux at the surface.
Here, the TKE variations are analysed during the morning transition phase because subsequent to the neutral or stable stratification
during the night, peaks of concentration of scalars develop. The characteristics of the TKE during the growth phase of convection
are analysed with the help of two analytical models. For this purpose, a three-dimensional spectral model of the growth of
convection, starting from a neutral layer, and other formulations of micrometeorological parameters such as the convective
and neutral spectra, velocity variance and dissipation rates are utilised. The peak values in the TKE spectra in the lower,
middle and upper levels of the convective boundary layer showed a migration to higher wavelengths as the convection increased
with time. The TKE evolutions generated by the analytical models agree fairly well with the results of large-eddy simulation
for three vertical levels. 相似文献

Expressions for the vertical and the lateral diffusivity coefficients were derived from the Local Similarity Theory and the Statistical Diffusion Theory. For such, the spectral density energies for the turbulent velocities were used. The expressions here derived are compared with the diffusivity coefficients for momentum and heat suggested by Sorbjan (from the Minnesota experiments) and Nieuwstadt (from the Cabauw experiments). This comparison allows us to conclude that turbulence is equally efficient in transporting momentum, heat and contaminants in an ideally stable boundary layer. 相似文献

The studies of turbulence decay were based in the past on measurements carried out in neutrally stratified wind tunnels and, more recently, on large-eddy simulation runs. Here the atmospheric turbulence decay process during the solar total eclipse of 11 August 1999 is examined. Thus a rapid transition from convective boundary-layer turbulence to that of a neutral or slightly stable one is considered. A u-v-w propeller anemometer and a fast response temperature sensor located in northern France on top of a 9-m mast recorded the turbulence observations. The measurements, in terms of turbulent kinetic energy decay with time, were found to be in good agreement with those prescribed by a theoretical model of turbulence decay recently proposed. In particular, it was found that the exponent of the power law describing the decay process has the value -2. 相似文献

A new parameterization for turbulentdispersion in a convective boundary layer isproposed. The model is based on turbulentkinetic energy spectra and Taylor's diffusiontheory. The formulation, included in an advanceddispersion model, has been tested and comparedwith vertical and lateral dispersion schemesreported in the literature, using data from fieldexperiments. The application of a statisticalevaluation shows that the proposedparameterization has the best overall fit to the data. 相似文献

When the wind speed decreases below a certain value (1–2 m s-1) meandering (low frequency horizontal wind oscillations) starts to prevail. In these conditions it becomes difficult to define a precise mean wind direction and to estimate the airborne dispersion. To study the wind and turbulence characteristics during meandering, two sonic anemometer datasets, containing hourly wind observations, were analysed: the first one, lasting 1 year, was recorded in complex terrain (Graz, Austria) and the second one, lasting about 1month, was recorded in a rather flat area (Tisby, Sweden). It was found that meandering seems to exist under all meteorological conditions regardless of the stability or wind speed and it was confirmed that meandering sets a lower limit for the horizontal wind component variances. Further, it was found that the autocorrelation functions of the horizontal wind components, computed for the low wind cases, show an oscillating behaviour with the presence of large negative lobes. Two different relationships from the literature, and relevant to these oscillatory aspects, were fitted to the data. They contain two parameters: one associated and relevant to the classical integral time scale and the second with meandering occurrence. Based on these relationships, expressions for the mean square displacement of particles y2(t) were also derived. 相似文献

Turbulence Intensity Parameters over a Very Complex Terrain 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

Detailed knowledge of turbulence structure is important for the understanding of atmospheric phenomena in the boundary layer,
especially over complex terrain. In the present study, turbulence intensity parameters are analyzed for different conditions
regarding stability, wind speed and wind direction over a mountainous region. The purpose of the analysis is to verify whether
the observed parameters follow Monin–Obukhov similarity theory (MOST), despite the terrain heterogeneity. The dataset was
collected during an experimental campaign at the Nova Roma do Sul site, in southern Brazil, with a micrometeorological tower
located near a sharp slope, approximately 400 m high. The results show that the normalized standard deviations of the vertical
velocity component as well as the normalized standard deviation of temperature follow Monin–Obukhov similarity for all stability
regimes, regardless of the wind direction. However the normalized standard deviation of the horizontal components of the turbulent
velocity obeys the similarity relationship only for a limited range of the stability parameters. 相似文献
