Comparação dos fluxos turbulentos em diferentes condições de estabilidade e topografia

Abstract

In this study sensible and latent heat fluxes as well as momentum flux were analysed in terms of similarity parameters. The intensity of the turbulence and the correlation functions are also studied. The data used in this work were collected in three differents sites and in differents seasons of the year. The topography of the sites are representatives of heterogeneous and non- heterogeneous conditions. In all sites micrometeorological towers instrumented with fast response sensors colleted data with a rate of 10 Hz. In order to analysis of the data a computacional program for the S-Plus software was developed. Results indicates that for very complex topography only the non- dimensinal standard deviation of humidity at stable conditions follow the Monin- Obukhov Similarity Theory. Under near homogeneous conditions all parameters presented in this study have a acceptable description in terms of similarity theory, except the correlation coeficient for the momentum flux.
