Examination of the empirical flux-profile models in the atmospheric surface boundary layer

Values of Richardson number (Ri) and the wind profile Deacon number ( beta ) in the atmospheric surface layer are evaluated from various experimental data sources. The relationship between Ri and beta shows some scatter, but gives agreement with the relations derived by the several empirical models...

Description
Summary:Values of Richardson number (Ri) and the wind profile Deacon number ( beta ) in the atmospheric surface layer are evaluated from various experimental data sources. The relationship between Ri and beta shows some scatter, but gives agreement with the relations derived by the several empirical models available for both unstable and inversion conditions.
