Assessment of difference in the atmospheric surface layer turbulence characteristics during thunderstorm and clear weather days over a tropical station
Abstract:The present study analyses the atmospheric surface layer characteristics (non-dimensionalised standard deviation of temperature and wind) during days of thunderstorm (DT) and clear weather days (CWD) during the months of pre-monsoon for years 2007, 2009 and 2010 at a tropical station Kharagpur (22°30′N, 87 o 20′E), India using the data sets collected by a 50-m instrumented tower. The study proposes site-specific relationships for thermal and mechanical characteristics of turbulence concerning atmospheric stabi… Show more
