As part of the CASES-99 program (Cooperative Atmosphere-Surface Exchange Study-1999), the PI, in collaboration with Dr. David Miller of the University of Connecticut, will employ hot film anemometers to measure the contribution of the smallest resolvable turbulent eddies to the vertical fluxes of heat and momentum. In stable, nocturnal conditions which are the focus of the CASES program, turbulent eddies near the ground are so small as to be undetectable by traditional observing means, such as sonic anemometers. In addition to evaluating the importance of the small and previously unobserved eddies, the investigators will study the relative importance of radiative and sensible heat fluxes in the energy balance of the boundary layer and determine the extent to which the Monin-Obukov similarity theory, developed for convective boundary layers, may have application in the stable boundary layer. The phenomenon of turbulence intermittency will also be studied, using data from an instrumented tower, lidars, radar wind profilers, and aircraft.

作为 CASES-99 计划（合作大气-地表交换研究-1999）的一部分，PI 与康涅狄格大学的 David Miller 博士合作，将采用热膜风速计来测量最小可分辨湍流涡流的贡献热和动量的垂直通量。在稳定的夜间条件下（CASES 计划的重点），地面附近的湍流涡流非常小，以至于传统的观测手段（例如声波风速计）无法检测到。除了评估以前未观测到的小涡流的重要性外，研究人员还将研究边界层能量平衡中辐射热通量和感热通量的相对重要性，并确定莫宁-奥布科夫相似理论的程度，该理论是为对流边界层，可能在稳定边界层中有应用。还将利用来自仪表塔、激光雷达、雷达风廓线仪和飞机的数据来研究湍流间歇现象。
