Instability Analysis of Terrain-Induced Canopy Flows
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tall vegetation and complex terrain create difficult conditions for measuring and modeling net ecosystem?atmosphere exchanges of carbon, water vapor, and pollutants. The instability of canopy flow regimes over complex ...
Momentum Transfer within Canopies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To understand the basic characteristics of the observed S-shaped wind profile and the exponential flux profile within forest canopies, three hypotheses are postulated. The relationship between these fundamental profiles ...
Long-Term Observations of the Dynamics of the Continental Planetary Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Time series of mixed layer depth, zi, and stable boundary layer height from March through October of 1998 are derived from a 915-MHz boundary layer profiling radar and CO2 mixing ratio measured from a 447-m tower in northern ...
Long-Term Carbon Dioxide Fluxes from a Very Tall Tower in a Northern Forest: Flux Measurement Methodology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Methodology for determining fluxes of CO2 and H2O vapor with the eddy-covariance method using data from instruments on a 447-m tower in the forest of northern Wisconsin is addressed. The primary goal of this study is the ...
