Turbulent transfer characteristics over a suburban surface

The main motive for studying turbulent flow in an urban environment is to understand the processes governing momentum, heat and mass exchange between the atmosphere and a very inhomogeneous and aerodynamically rough surface. This exchange regulates the microclimate wherein about 40% of the current w...
