8 Temporal Scales of Coherent Structures

9 Probability Density Functions of Temporal Scales

10 Temporal Scales of CS in Horizontal Direction M6 M5 M6 M5 M7 M7

11 Flux Contribution of Coherent Structures

12 Contribution of CS to Sensible Heat Horizontal M5 Main windstream M7 M M6

13 Coupling by Coherent Structures Wa Ds Dc Cs C Wa - wave motion Dc decoupled canopy Ds decoupled subcanopy Cs coupled subcanopy by sweeps C fully coupled canopy Thomas & Foken, 2007

14 Coupling by Coherent Structures Ch Dch vh vh y x

15 Intercoupling Dch Dc Ds Dc h Cs C Ch Cs C

16 Conclusions Number of detected CSs varies with height and does not change with location in the trunk space Density of canopy and vertical dependence of LAI influence on coherent exchange Maximum occurrence of CSs at canopy level due to additional shear tearing large CSs apart Horizontal temporal scales of CSs two times longer than vertical temporal scales (20s vs. 40s) Maximum flux contribution of CSs at the canopy level, except momentum transport Sweep transparency of the canopy, ejection transparency of the atmosphere Trunk space is coupled in the direction of the main stream, particularly when subcanopy is coupled with the atmosphere through the canopy
