7 Basic types of the SBL Until recently ABLs were distinguished accounting only for F bs = F : neutral at F =0 stable at F <0 Now more detailed classification: truly neutral (TN) ABL: F =0, N=0 conventionally neutral (CN) ABL: F =0, N>0 nocturnal stable (NS) ABL: F <0, N=0 long-lived stable (LS) ABL: F <0, N>0 Realistic surface flux calculation scheme should be based on a model applicable to all these types of the ABL

9 Turbulence in atmospheric models turbulence closure to calculate vertical fluxes: τ and gradients: d U / dz and d Θ / dz F θ through mean flux-profile relationships to calculate the surface fluxes: u = τ = τ z = 0, F Fθ through wind speed = U = and potential temperature = z = 0 Θ 1 = z= z1 Θ at a given level z 1 U1 z z1 in NWP and climate models, the lowest computational level is z 1 ~ 30 m
10 Neutral stratification (no problem) From logarithmic wall law: du dz 1/ τ =, kz dθ dz = k T τ F θ 1/, z U 1/ τ z = ln, k z 0u Θ Fθ Θ 0 = ln 1/ k τ T z z 0u k, k T von Karman constants; z 0 u aerodynamic roughness length for momentum; Θ 0 aerodynamic surface potential temperature (at z 0 u ) [ Θ0-Θ s through z 0 T ] It follows: 1/ 1 τ 1 = ku 1 (ln z / z 0u ), F θ1 = kk TU ( Θ1 Θ 0 )(ln z / z 0u τ1 = τ, Fθ 1= F when z1 30 m << h OK in neutral stratification 1 )
11 Stable stratification: current theory (i) local scaling, (ii) log-linear Θ-profile both questionable When z 1 is much above the surface layer τ 1 τ, Fθ 1 F 3/ τ Monin-Obukhov (MO) theory L = (neglects other scales) βfθ 1/ kz du ktτ z dθ z = Φ ( ξ ) 1/ M, = Φ H ( ξ ), where ξ = τ dz F dz L θ Φ M = + C ξ, Φ H = + C ξ from z-less stratification concept 1 U1 u 1 Θ1 z z ln + CU, zu0 L U = 1 k s Θ Θ F 0 = ln + C Θ 1 kt u zu0 Ls 1 Ri β ( dθ / dz)( du / dz) Ric = k C k T C (unacceptable) CU1 ~, C Θ1 also ~ (factually increases with z/l) Θ1 U1 z z
12 Stable stratification: current parameterization To avoid critical Ri modellers use empirical, heuristic correction functions to the neutral drag and heat/mass transfer coefficients Drag and heat transfer coefficients: C D = τ /(U 1 ), C H = F θs /(U 1 Θ) Neutral: C Dn, C Hn from the logarithmic wall law To account for stratification, correction functions (dependent only of Ri): f D (Ri 1 ) = C D / C Dn and f H (Ri 1 ) = C H / C Hn Ri 1 = β( Θ)z 1 /(U 1 ) (surface-layer Richardson number ) - given parameter

34 Stability Dependence of Roughness Length For urban and vegetation canopies with roughness-element heights (0-50 m) comparable with the Monin-Obukhov turbulent length scale, L, the surface resistance and roughness length depend on stratification

43 Unstable stratification Empirical Ri = (h 0 / L) 13/18
44 Unstable stratification Displacement height in unstable stratification (Basel): The line confirms theoretical dependence: d 0u d 0 / d ou 1 versus d0 = 1/3 1+ C ( h / L) DC 0 Ri
45 STABILITY DEPENDENCE OF THE ROUGHNESS LENGTH in the meteorological interval -10 < h 0 /L <10 after new theory and experimental data Solid line: z 0u /z 0 versus h 0 /L Thin line: traditional formulation z 0u = z 0
46 STABILITY DEPENDENCE OF THE DISPLACEMENT HEIGHT in the meteorological interval -10 < h 0 /L <10 after new theory and experimental data Solid line: d 0u /d 0 versus h 0 /L Dashed line: the upper limit: d 0 = h 0
47 Conclusions (Roughness Length) Traditional concept: roughness length and displacement height fully characterised by geometric features of the surface New theory and data: essential dependence on hydrostatic stability especially strong in stable stratification Applications: to urban and terrestrial-ecosystem meteorology Especially: urban air pollution episodes in very stable stratification
