▪ Abstract The single-point statistics of turbulence in the 'roughness sub-layer'occupied by
the plant canopy and the air layer just above it differ significantly from those in the surface …

Forest canopies are important components of the terrestrial carbon budget, which has
motivated a worldwide effort, FLUXNET, to measure CO2 exchange between forests and the …

Introduction to Micrometeorology is intended as a textbook for courses in micrometeorology
for undergraduate students (juniors or seniors) in meteorology or environmental science, as …

This paper argues that the active turbulence and coherent motions near the top of a
vegetation canopy are patterned on a plane mixing layer, because of instabilities associated …

Studying the microclimate of plant canopies has long motivated scientists in various
research fields such as agronomy, ecology or silviculture, and almost a century has passed …

Over the last 100 years, boundary layer meteorology grew from the subject of mostly near-
surface observations to a field encompassing diverse atmospheric boundary layers (ABLs) …

Accurate simulation of air quality at neighbourhood scales (on order of 1-km horizontal grid
spacing) requires detailed meteorological fields inside the roughness sub-layer (RSL) …

Information on mass and energy exchange at the soil surface under vegetation is a critical
component of micrometeorological, climate, biogeochemical and hydrological models …

The output of a large-eddy simulation was used to study the terms ofthe turbulent kinetic
energy (TKE) budget for the air layers above andwithin a forest. The computation created a …

An analytical one-dimensional second-order closure model is developed to describe the
within canopy velocity variances, turbulent intensities, dissipation rates, Lagrangian time …
