Comparing the Air Turbulence above Smooth and Rough Surfaces in the Amazon Region
The goal of this work is to compare the main air turbulence characteristics of two common areas in the Amazonian landscape: a dense forest (rough surface) and a water surface (smooth surface). Using wind components data collected at high frequency by sonic anemometers located just above these surfac...
