Abstract
The Monin–Obukhov (MO) scales estimated from experimental data received at two observation sites with different underlying surface structure under different surface air temperature stratification types are analyzed. The MO scale (its sign, first of all) is compared with current temperature profiles in the surface air layer. The MO scale sign is found to differ sometimes from actual temperature stratification, which contradicts the Monin–Obukhov similarity theory. The results can be used for refining surface air layer models which are based on this theory.
期刊介绍:
Atmospheric and Oceanic Optics is an international peer reviewed journal that presents experimental and theoretical articles relevant to a wide range of problems of atmospheric and oceanic optics, ecology, and climate. The journal coverage includes: scattering and transfer of optical waves, spectroscopy of atmospheric gases, turbulent and nonlinear optical phenomena, adaptive optics, remote (ground-based, airborne, and spaceborne) sensing of the atmosphere and the surface, methods for solving of inverse problems, new equipment for optical investigations, development of computer programs and databases for optical studies. Thematic issues are devoted to the studies of atmospheric ozone, adaptive, nonlinear, and coherent optics, regional climate and environmental monitoring, and other subjects.
