Regional Monitoring System for Air–Surface Turbulent Energy Exchange in Urban Conditions
摘要
Experience of creating a regional monitoring system for atmosphere–underlying surface turbulent energy exchange is analyzed. An original technique for creating an observation network based on ultrasonic automatic weather stations of domestic production has been developed. Based on this technique, the TomskFluxNet system has been deployed in Tomsk. It is the first urban network for monitoring characteristics of land–air turbulent energy exchange in Northern Eurasia, under condition of pronounced continental climate. The first experimental results show significantly different turbulent heat and momentum fluxes over urban and natural underlying surfaces. The results can be used to verify and improve the parameterizations of the urban surface, which are actively developing in land–air models and weather forecast.
