Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 環境工程研究所 === 81 === The purpose of this research is to develop a technique to measure water vapor flux and methane flux from land surface. This technique is based on the similarity theory. Water vapor flux from Tseng-wen reservoir,water vapor flux from a grass land at Tungao, and methane flux from Taichung land-fill site have been explored by using this technique. The average water vapor flux at Tseng-wen reservoir was measured to be 0.60 m/year from Dec. 8 to Dec. 13, 1992. The average water vapor flux at Tungao was measured to be 0.76 m per year from Mar. 28 to Apr. 2, 1993. The methane flux at Taichung landfill site was measured to be 0.12 mg per square meter per second,1.06 kg per ton-waste (wet) from Feb. 26 to Feb. 28, 1993. However, special cares have to be taken to measure flux at complex terrain such as Taichung landfill site. This technique of flux measurement has been verified by an energy budget method.The error of calculated soil heat flux, which is summation of calculated latent heat flux, sensible heat flux and measured net radiation, is determined to be .plmin.65% in comparison with measured soil heat flux. In addition, numerical sensitivities of calculated exchange coefficient based on similarity theory have been conducted. It is found that the most important factor affecting exchange coefficient is wind speed gradient, the second dominate factor is air temperature gradient, the third is relative humidity gradient, and the least important factor is air pressure.
