Analysis of Turbulence Data Obtained in the von Karman Experiments

这项工作的目的是分析和解释从大气边界层观测到的风、温度和湿度；这些测量是在过去三年中在四个地点获得的。这可能是过去二十年来最好的观测结果，将用于确定边界层的湍流能量收支，温度和速度的柯尔莫戈洛夫常数，以及独立确定的冯·卡门常数。了解边界层的行为很重要，因为它能够向大气上层输送水汽、热量和动量，从而启动或抑制整个对流层深层的其他气象发展。弗里赫教授完全有资格从事拟议中的工作；他也参加了所有四个实验。

The objective of this work is the analysis and interpretation of observations of wind, temperature, and moisture from the atmosphere's boundary layer; the measurements were acquired at four sites over the past three years. The observations are perhaps the best taken in the past two decades and will be used to determine the turbulent energy budget in the boundary layer, the Kolmogoroff constants for temperature and velocity, and an independent determination of the von Karman constant. The behavior of the boundary layer is important to understand since it is capable of transporting water vapor, heat and momentum to the upper layers of the atmosphere, thus initiating or suppressing other meteorological developments throughout deep layers of the troposphere. Professor Friehe is well qualified to pursue the proposed work; he participated in all four experiments as well.
