Are atmospheric surface layer f lows ergodic?

Valentin Simeonov, Marc Parlange, Gabriel George Katul, Chad Higgins, Martin Froidevaux

The transposition of atmospheric turbulence statistics from the time domain, as conventionally sampled in field experiments, is explained by the so-called ergodic hypothesis. In micrometeorology, this hypothesis assumes that the time average of a measured ...

Measured and Estimated Water Vapor Advection in the Atmospheric Surface Layer

Valentin Simeonov, Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Martin Froidevaux, Eric Richard Pardyjak

The flux of water vapor due to advection is measured using high-resolution Raman lidar that was orientated horizontally across a land-lake transition. At the same time, a full surface energy balance is performed to assess the impact of scalar advection on ...

A Raman lidar to measure water vapor in the atmospheric boundary layer

Hubert van den Bergh, Valentin Simeonov, Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Martin Froidevaux, Eric Richard Pardyjak, Pablo Roberto Ristori, Ilya Serikov

A new multi-telescope scanning Raman lidar designed to measure the water vapor mixing ratio in the atmospheric boundary layer for a complete diurnal cycle with high resolution spatial (1.25 m) and temporal (1 s) resolutions is presented. The high resolutio ...

The Effect of Scale on the Applicability of Taylor’s Frozen Turbulence Hypothesis in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer

Valentin Simeonov, Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Martin Froidevaux, Nikki Vercauteren, Caitlin Ellen Barry

Taylor’s frozen turbulence hypothesis is the central assumption invoked in most experiments designed to investigate turbulence physics with time resolving sensors. It is also frequently used in theoretical discussions when linking Lagrangian to Eulerian fl ...
