2was found to be 18% lower than the corresponding temperature function obtained by Wyngaard et al. (1971). Furthermore, the measurements indicate that the temperature-humidity fluctuations are highly coherent well into the inertial subrange. The results have direct application to turbulent scattering of waves propagating in the atmosphere (particularly microwaves) and methods of estimating air-sea surface fluxes. 相似文献

On the Determination of the Neutral Drag Coefficient in the Convective Boundary Layer 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Based on the idea that free convection can be considered as a particular case of forced convection, where the gusts driven by the large-scale eddies are scaled with the Deardorff convective velocity scale, a new formulation for the neutral drag coefficient, CDn, in the convective boundary layer (CBL) is derived. It is shown that (i) a concept of CDn can still be used under strongly unstable conditions including a pure free-convection regime even when no logarithmic portion in the velocity profile exists; (ii) gustiness corrections must be applied for rational calculations of CDn; and (iii) the stratification function used in the derivation of CDn should satisfy the theoretical free-convection limit. The new formulation is compared with the traditional relationship for CDn, and data collected over the sea (during the Tropical Ocean-Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE) and the San Clemente Ocean Probing Experiment (SCOPE)) and over land (during the BOREX-95 experiment) are used to illustrate the difference between the new and traditional formulations. Compared to the new approach, the traditional formulation strongly overestimates CDn and zo in the CBL for mean wind speed less than about 2 m s-1. The new approach also clarifies several contradictory results from earlier works. Some aspects related to an alternate definition of the neutral drag coefficient and the wind speed and the stress averaging procedure are considered. 相似文献

Shipboard measurements of temperature fluctuations, mean wind, temperature, and humidity permit comparisons to be made of experimental and empirical estimates of ct
2, the temperature structure function parameter. Surface flux estimates are obtained from bulk aerodynamic formulae. Temperature fluctuation data are selected to minimize a salt-contamination effect which causes increases in temperature variance. Predictions for CT
2 based on surface flux scaling agree within 20%, except for near neutral and large unstable conditions where disagreement can be attributed to measurement problems. 相似文献

A detailed dynamical analysis of the nearby rich Norma cluster (ACO 3627) is presented. From radial velocities of 296 cluster members, we find a mean velocity of 4871 ± 54 km s−1 and a velocity dispersion of 925 km s−1 . The mean velocity of the E/S0 population (4979 ± 85 km s−1 ) is offset with respect to that of the S/Irr population (4812 ± 70 km s−1 ) by Δ v = 164 km s−1 in the cluster rest frame. This offset increases towards the core of the cluster. The E/S0 population is free of any detectable substructure and appears relaxed. Its shape is clearly elongated with a position angle that is aligned along the dominant large-scale structures in this region, the so-called Norma wall. The central cD galaxy has a very large peculiar velocity of 561 km s−1 which is most probably related to an ongoing merger at the core of the cluster. The spiral/irregular galaxies reveal a large amount of substructure; two dynamically distinct subgroups within the overall spiral population have been identified, located along the Norma wall elongation. The dynamical mass of the Norma cluster within its Abell radius is 1–1.1 × 1015 h −1 73 M⊙ . One of the cluster members, the spiral galaxy WKK 6176 which recently was observed to have a 70 kpc X-ray tail, reveals numerous striking low-brightness filaments pointing away from the cluster centre suggesting strong interaction with the intracluster medium. 相似文献

Impact of Sea-Spray on the Atmospheric Surface Layer 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The feedback effects of sea-spray on the heat and momentum fluxes under equilibrium conditions associated with winds of tropical
cyclones are investigated using a one-dimensional coupled sea-spray and atmospheric surface-layer (ASL) model. This model
is capable of simulating the microphysical aspects of the evaporation of saline water droplets of various sizes and their
dynamic and thermal interaction with the turbulence mixing that is simulated by the Mellor–Yamada 1.5-order closure scheme.
Sea-spray droplet generation is described by a state-of-the-art parametrization that predicts the size spectrum of sea-spray
droplets for a given surface forcing. The results from a series of simulations indicate the way in which evaporating droplets
of various sizes modify the turbulence mixing near the surface, which in turn affects further droplet evaporation. All these
results are direct consequences of the effects of sea-spray on the balance of turbulent kinetic energy in the spray-filled
surface layer. In particular, the overall impact of sea-spray droplets on the mean wind depends on the wind speed at the level
of sea-spray generation. When the wind speed is below 40 m s−1, the droplets are small in size and tend to evaporate substantially and thus cool the spray-filled layer, while for wind
speeds above 50 m s−1, the size of the droplets is so large that they do not have enough time to evaporate much before falling back into the sea.
The sensible heat carried by the droplets is released to the ambient air, increasing the buoyancy of the surface layer and
enhancing the turbulent mixing. The suspension of sea-spray droplets reduces the buoyancy and makes the surface layer more
stable, decreasing the friction velocity and the downward turbulent mixing of momentum. The results from the numerical experiments
also suggest that, in order not to violate the constant flux assumption critical to the Monin–Obukhov similarity theory, a
displacement equal to the mean wave height should be included in the logarithmic profiles of the wind and thermal fields. 相似文献

A comprehensive study of air–sea interactions focused on improving the quantification of CO2 fluxes and gas transfer velocities was performed within a large open ocean CO2 sink region in the North Atlantic. This study, GasEx-98, included shipboard measurements of direct covariance CO2 fluxes, atmospheric CO2 profiles, atmospheric DMS profiles, water column mass balances of CO2, and measurements of deliberate SF6–3He tracers, along with air–sea momentum, heat, and water vapor fluxes. The large air–sea differences in partial pressure of CO2 caused by a springtime algal bloom provided high signals for accurate CO2 flux measurements. Measurements were performed over a wind speed range of 1–16 m s−1 during the three-week process study. This first comparison between the novel air-side and more conventional water column measurements of air–sea gas transfer show a general agreement between independent air–sea gas flux techniques. These new advances in open ocean air–sea gas flux measurements demonstrate the progress in the ability to quantify air–sea CO2 fluxes on short time scales. This capability will help improve the understanding of processes controlling the air–sea fluxes, which in turn will improve our ability to make regional and global CO2 flux estimates. 相似文献

Measurements of atmospheric turbulence made during the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean Experiment (SHEBA) are used
to examine the profile stability functions of momentum, φ
m
, and sensible heat, φ
h
, in the stably stratified boundary layer over the Arctic pack ice. Turbulent fluxes and mean meteorological data that cover
different surface conditions and a wide range of stability conditions were continuously measured and reported hourly at five
levels on a 20-m main tower for 11 months. The comprehensive dataset collected during SHEBA allows studying φ
m
and φ
h
in detail and includes ample data for the very stable case. New parameterizations for φ
m
(ζ) and φ
h
(ζ) in stable conditions are proposed to describe the SHEBA data; these cover the entire range of the stability parameter
ζ = z/L from neutral to very stable conditions, where L is the Obukhov length and z is the measurement height. In the limit of very strong stability, φ
m
follows a ζ 1/3 dependence, whereas φ
h
initially increases with increasing ζ, reaches a maximum at ζ ≈ 10, and then tends to level off with increasing ζ. The effects
of self-correlation, which occur in plots of φ
m
and φ
h
versus ζ, are reduced by using an independent bin-averaging method instead of conventional averaging. 相似文献

The Critical Richardson Number and Limits of Applicability of Local Similarity Theory in the Stable Boundary Layer 总被引：7，自引：7，他引：0

Measurements of atmospheric turbulence made over the Arctic pack ice during the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean experiment (SHEBA) are used to determine the limits of applicability of Monin–Obukhov similarity theory (in the local scaling formulation) in the stable atmospheric boundary layer. Based on the spectral analysis of wind velocity and air temperature fluctuations, it is shown that, when both the gradient Richardson number, Ri, and the flux Richardson number, Rf, exceed a ‘critical value’ of about 0.20–0.25, the inertial subrange associated with the Richardson–Kolmogorov cascade dies out and vertical turbulent fluxes become small. Some small-scale turbulence survives even in this supercritical regime, but this is non-Kolmogorov turbulence, and it decays rapidly with further increasing stability. Similarity theory is based on the turbulent fluxes in the high-frequency part of the spectra that are associated with energy-containing/flux-carrying eddies. Spectral densities in this high-frequency band diminish as the Richardson–Kolmogorov energy cascade weakens; therefore, the applicability of local Monin–Obukhov similarity theory in stable conditions is limited by the inequalities Ri < Ri cr and Rf < Rf cr. However, it is found that Rf cr = 0.20–0.25 is a primary threshold for applicability. Applying this prerequisite shows that the data follow classical Monin–Obukhov local z-less predictions after the irrelevant cases (turbulence without the Richardson–Kolmogorov cascade) have been filtered out. 相似文献
