The study discusses the features of wind, turbulence, and surface roughness parameter over the coastal boundary layer of the Peninsular Indian Station, Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS). Every 5 min measurements from an ultrasonic anemometer at 3.3 m agl from May 2007 to December 2012 are used for this work. Symmetries in mesoscale turbulence, stress off-wind angle computations, structure of scalar wind, resultant wind direction, momentum flux ( ), Obukhov length ( ), frictional velocity ( * ), w-component, turbulent heat flux ( ), drag coefficient ( ), turbulent intensities, standard deviation of wind directions ( ), wind steadiness factor-relationship, bivariate normal distribution (BND) wind model, surface roughness parameter ( 0 ), 0 and wind direction ( ) relationship, and variation of 0 with the Indian South West monsoon activity are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
