Abstract

The turbulent data observed at the Semi-Arid Climate and Environment Observatory of Lanzhou University (SACOL) in sunny days over semi-arid grassland in the Loess Plateau from June to August 2008 were used to investigate the relation between dimensionless turbulent wind variance and stability parameter (Z/L) and the turbulence transfer characteristics. The results shows that the wind components spectra computed by the Fast Fourier technique were satisfactory the Kolmogorov similarity hypothesis. The average actual evapotranspiration in sunny days is 1.9 mm when the daily mean soil humidity at 5 cm is about 15%, the moisture flux is greater than zero and a maximum of 0.063 g·m-2·s-1. Under the convective condition, the stability parameters (Z/L) dependence on the variance of dimensionless temperature and specific humidity can be fit to a power law with an index of -1/3. The dynamical and thermal-dynamical roughness length over Loess Plateau semi-arid grassland is 6.6×10-3 m and 1.85×10-5 m. The bulk transfer coefficient CD and CH are 4.4×10-3 and 3.9×10-3 under unstable stratification; CD and CH are 4.2×10-3 and 2.8×10-3 under the near neutral stratified condition; CD and CH are 3.1×10-3 and 2.1×10-3 under stable stratification.
