ATMOSPHERIC TURBULENCE STRUCTURE AND SPECTRAL CHARACTERISTICS AT NEAR SURFACE LAYER ON TROPICAL COASTS

  • By use of an observational experiment at the village of Tianwei, Haikou, Hainan province in 1990,characteristic turbulence values such as velocity component spectra and turbulence intensity are studied.The data were mostly obtained in cloudy condition, so that the stability parameter (L) and thermal flux (wt) did not vary diurnally while the turbulent energy and mean-temperature did. The basic characteristics of turbulence spectra are similar to those with fine weather, hems close to local isotropy in the inertial subrange. The velocity spectra agree with the law of "-2/3 th power"in Kolmogrov's similarity theory. The relationship between turbulent intensity of components δi/U (i=u,v,w) and stability Z/L is studied follow ins the Monim-Obukhov(M-O) similarity theory. It is shown that the two observe the law of "1/3 th power", though the turbulent intensity and energy are generally larger than those on the flat underlying topography.
