Abstract:
Based on the second Tibetan Plateau Meteorological Experiment (TIPEX) turbulent data from Changdu, the turbulent structure and transportation characteristics in the near-surface layer for summer time are analyzed by using the eddy correlation technique. The main results show that the relation between the normalized variance of 3D winds and
z/
L satisfies the similarity law under both unstable and stable stratification. The relations of normalized variances of temperature and specific humidity to
z/
L obey the law of 1/3 fractional power only under the unstable condition. In the case of stable stratification, their relations to
z/
L are disperse. The sensible heat dominates in the dry period, making up 80% of the total heating; while in the wet period the heating is intensified to great degree, in which latent (sensible) heat constitutes 60% (40%). The relations of drag coefficients (
Cd and
Ch) to
z/
L are quite close and the fitted
Cdn (4.40×10
-3)
Chn (4.70×10
-3) are obtained in a neutral case, which are bigger than those for the middle and western parts of the plateau in the same period.
