Boundary Layer Soundings and Regional Surface Heat Fluxes in the Southern Great Plains

摘要/Brutsaert，97-08622大洋南部的边界层探测和区域表面热通量该奖项为研究提供了三年的资金，用于研究从自然地表获取的区域尺度的表面热通量(包括湍流和辐射)。这项工作的一个主要目的是找到能够在比目前现有测量技术强加的10米至100米的特征尺度更大的区域内推算地表通量的方法。出于许多原因，需要更好地描述这些数量，尤其是需要改进全球气候模型。这项工作将在堪萨斯州和俄克拉何马州交界处的大平原南部的道布手臂/手推车现场进行。该地点是高度仪器化的，可能是世界上进行计划研究的最佳地点，在未来三年的研究期间，将出现几个有重点的特殊观察期。这种合作将产生的协同效应将是极好的。研究结果将在动态气候模拟和水文应用中具有重要价值。

Abstract/Brutsaert, 97-08622 Boundary Layer Soundings and Regional Surface Heat Fluxes in the Southern Great P!ains This award provides funding for three years for research to investigate surface heat fluxes (both turbulent and radiative) at regional scales from natural land surfaces. One principal aim of the work is to find ways to allow derivation of surface fluxes over larger areas than the characteristic scales of 10 m to 100 m imposed by currently available measurement technology. Better characterization of these quantities is needed for many reasons, not least of which is the need for improvement of global climate models. The work is to be carried out at the DoB ARM/CART site in the Southern Great Plains at the border between Kansas and Oklahoma. The site is highly instrumented and is probably the best site in the world for the planned research, and several focused special observing periods will occur during the next three years while the research is being carried out. The synergy that will be achieved as a result of this cooperation will be excellent. The results will he of considerable value in dynamic climate modeling and hydrological applications.
