Abstract

In this paper,according to the extended Monin-Obukhov similarity theory for near surface atmospheric turbulence,the roughness(z0),neutral drag coefficients(CDN) and the exchange coefficients(CHN,CEN) of the sensible and latent heat over the different underlying surfaces,such as the Nansha sea region in South China Sea,the Gobi,desert and oasis over North China,and mid-and north-parts of Qinghai-Xizang Plateau,have been computed and analyzed by utilizing the observed data in the Nansha sea region in September 18~30,1994,HEIFE experiment on 1~24 August 1990 and the GAME/Tibet experiment in June,1998.Some meaningful results have been got.

Key words

Aerodynamic roughnes / Drag coefficient / Sensible heat exchan / Water vapor exchange
