Realistic forests and the modeling of forest‐atmosphere exchange

EJ Bannister, AR MacKenzie, XM Cai - Reviews of Geophysics, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Forests cover nearly a third of the Earth's land area and exchange mass, momentum, and
energy with the atmosphere. Most studies of these exchanges, particularly using numerical …

Simulation-based study of turbulent aquatic canopy flows with flexible stems

S He, H Liu, L Shen - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 - cambridge.org

Effects of vegetation and topography on the boundary layer structure above the Amazon forest

M Chamecki, LS Freire, NL Dias… - Journal of the …, 2020 - journals.ametsoc.org
Observational data from two field campaigns in the Amazon forest were used to study the
vertical structure of turbulence above the forest. The analysis was performed using the …

Effects of gentle topography on forest‐atmosphere gas exchanges and implications for eddy‐covariance measurements

B Chen, M Chamecki, GG Katul - Journal of Geophysical …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
The interpretation of tower‐based eddy‐covariance (EC) turbulent flux measurements above
forests hinges on three key assumptions:(1) steadiness in the flow statistics,(2) planar …

Large-eddy simulation of the atmospheric boundary layer with near-wall resolved turbulence

LS Freire - Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 2022 - Springer
In this study, a large-eddy simulation (LES) code with the one-dimensional turbulence (ODT)
wall model is tested for the simulation of the atmospheric boundary layer under neutral …
