MARIAH--A Similarity-Based Method for Determining Wind, Temperature, and Humidity Profile Structure in the Atmospheric Surface Layer

摘要

Methodology for determining the similarity scaling constants for wind, temperature, and specific humidity from micrometeorological tower data is presented. The equations and the approach for solving them are referred to as MARIAH. The MARIAH solutionis much simpler than using the traditional O'KEYPS functions primarily due to the elimination of laborious, iterative schemes required for evaluating the diabatic influence functions, dimensionless lapse rate, and dimensionless wind shear. Examples of output are given to demonstrate the equivalency of MARIAH to O'KEYPS.
