| description abstract | The first experimental test of obtaining heat and momentum fluxes from measurements of the profile of the temperature structure parameter CT2 is performed. The parameter CT2 is obtained from resistance-wire thermometers as well as from optical-scintillation measurements; the latter produces averaged values over a 606-m propagation path. Use of optical scintillation can produce spatial averaging over propagation paths as long as several kilometers. Deducing the fluxes requires the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory of the horizontally homogeneous atmospheric surface layer. The results show agreement with eddy-correlation measurements of the fluxes for homogeneous and stationary micrometeorological conditions. The accuracy of optical scintillometers must, however, be improved to obtain reliable fluxes by this method. | |
