Interrelated Changes of Wind Profile Structure and Richardson Number in Air Flow from Land to Inland Lakes

摘要: Abstract A semi-empirical model for wind profile modification, in airflow from land to water on the 2-km scale, is discussed using 1950 Lake Hefner data. Initial (rough-surface) and final (smooth-surface) profiles are derived an interpolation developed used calculate intermediate profiles. distribution of vertical velocity with height determined aid assumption that divergence x direction near surface compensated by convergence y aloft. The rate growth internal boundary layer follows as a direct consequence model. Theoretical computation compared Super's observations variations fetch Mendota. diurnal variation subsidence found over related thermal stratification its effect structure. Momentum budgets between lake constructed give evidence stress Hefner.
