8 Convective Fluxes: Sensible and Latent Heat
9 Convective Fluxes Convective fluxes require Vertical gradient of temperature / water AND Turbulence ( mixing ) Vertical gradient, but no turbulence: only very slow diffusion of heat / water No vertical gradient, but turbulence: mixing, but no net transport of heat / water
10 Day & Night Latent Heat Flux z Eddy = turbulent whirl LE Eddy moves warm humid air up and dry air down. Both motions contribute to a positive (upward) flux of latent heat ( water flux ). humidity
11 Sensible Heat Flux Day z H Eddy moves warm air up and cold air down. Both motions contribute to a positive (upward) flux of sensible heat ( temperature flux ). T
12 Night Sensible Heat Flux z H Eddy moves cold air up and warm air down. Both motions contribute to a negative (downward) flux of sensible heat ( temperature flux ). T
13 Convective Fluxes` ` Sunrise/Sunset Moist air / Fog z H? z LE? Air saturated with water vapor T humidity
14 Why is the lower atmosphere turbulent? 2 U u* z Measured by shear stress or friction velocity Shear production of turbulence Buoyant production / destruction of turbulence Measured by sensible heat flux g wt ' T Obukhov length describes relative effect ' L u 3 * g 0.4 wt ' ' T L > 0 stable conditions L < 0 unstable conditions L = inf neutral conditions
15 Non-neutral boundary layers Unstable: Large eddies Deep atmospheric surface layer and atmospheric boundary layer Stable: wt ' ' 0 wt ' ' 0 Small eddies Shallow surface layer
16 Neutral ( wind tunnel ) Boundary Layer Most simple and most investigated Log layer (=constant flux layer): * u z d u( z) ln k zm dq/dz = E/(u* z rho k) EC measurements make sense only above roughness sublayer and in the constant flux layer!

20 Correlation and Fluxes
21 Reynolds decomposition All atmospheric entities show short term fluctuations about their longer term mean. This is result of turbulence which causes eddies to continuously move and carry with them heat, vapor, momentum and other gases from elsewhere. s s s s is value of an entity (T, vertical wind speed, vapor conc) s-bar is time-averaged entity s is instantaneous deviation from mean s-bar
22 Over a longer time period the value of the vertical wind speed w-bar equals zero since mass continuity requires that as much air moves up as down during a certain period (eg minutes). The properties contained and transported by an eddy are its mass ρ (when considering a unit volume), its vertical velocity w, and the volumetric content of any entity it possesses (heat, vapor, CO 2 ). Each of those components can be broken into a mean and a fluctuating part. Therefore, the mean vertical flux S of the entity s S/ ws ( w w )( s s ) ws ws w s w s
23 All terms involving a single primed quantity are eliminated since the average of all their fluctuations equals zero by definition. For uniform terrain without areas of preferred vertical motion (i.e. no hotspots ) the mean vertical velocity (w-bar) equals zero. S ws The averages of w and s are zero over a long enough time period. However, the average w s which is the covariance of w and s will only rarely be negligible. Transport of all entities depends on the vertical wind speed fluctuations. covariance(w,s) ~ correlation coefficient (w,s) ~ vertical flux of s
24 Basic Statistics Signal = mean + fluctuations e.g. Variances u u u' N 2 1 N ' ( ) ' 2 u u N u i u N u i 1 i 1 Fluxes = covariance = w T N N 1 1 ' ' ( ) ( ) ' ' i 1 i 1 uw N ui u wi w N wu Correlation coefficient = covar. / variance uw N 1 wu ' ' wu ' ' N u w i 1 u w

26 Consider the following entities s: momentum temperature vapor concentration Sensible heat flux H and latent heat flux E are measured as H c w T a p E L w ' ' L w ' q ' v v v a ρ a : density of air [kg m -3 ] c p : specific heat of air [J kg -1 K -1 ] L v : Latent heat of vaporization [J kg -1 ] ρ v : water vapor density [kg H2O / m3 air] q: specific humidity [kg H2O / kg air] If measurements can be made at least ten times per second, eddy covariance is an attractive method for direct measurements of transport into the atmosphere.
