A comparison of wind speed shears for frontal and undisturbed synoptic conditions
Tóm tắt
Wind speed shear parameters derived from data collected at a 481-m TV tower are computed for disturbed conditions (cold frontal passage), all undisturbed winds, undisturbed high winds, and undisturbed low winds. The exponential values of the wind speed power law for the case of disturbed conditions are found to be smaller than those for the case of all undisturbed winds, for practically all atmospheric stabilities; the largest exponential value (0.45) appears in the undisturbed low wind case at Richardson numbers near 0.25. The largest mean and standard deviations of the wind shear at the lowest layer (7–26 m) are 0.129 and 0.066 s -1, respectively, which occur for the high wind case at near-neutral stability. The most significant differences between the cases of disturbed and all undisturbed winds are that the former has much larger wind speeds and wind shear standard deviations in atmospherically-stable conditions.
