Flux‐gradient relationships in the constant flux layer
Abstract
An analysis is made of the Monin‐Obukhov function ΦM in the familiar wind profile equation, using data from two recent expeditions to Gurley (New South Wales) and Hay (New South Wales). In one, the friction velocity u* is determined directly by the eddy correlation method, and in the other, conducted during mid‐winter when small heat‐fluxes were experienced, by the use of a friction coefficient applied to a low‐level wind. By collating with a similar earlier analysis for heat and water vapour transfer, the variations of ΦM, ΦH and ΦW with stability are presented in tabular form in the z/L range − 0.01 to − 1.0. Within this range the empirical relationships ΦM = (1 − 16 z/L)−1/4 and ΦH, W = (1 − 16 z/L)−1/2, and the implied equality between Ri and z/L, are found to approximate the data to within a few per cent.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
