Vertical Mesoscale Water Vapor Flux in an Irrigated Valley

To obtain the profiles of dry bulb and wet bulb temperature, specific humidity, q, and air density, ρ, to a height of 200 meters above the ground, a precise lightweight thermocouple psychrometer was designed. To lift the thermocouple psychrometer and the attached wires in obtaining the ρq profiles,...

To lift the thermocouple psychrometer and the attached wires in obtaining the ρq profiles, a rigid polyethylene balloon augmented with 5.5-feet outdoor or 100-g meteorological balloons were used. Using the height dependent eddy exchange coefficient and a one-dimensional time-dependent profile model, the nighttime variations of ρq as a function of height were predicted and compared with observed values. It was found that the general shape of the eddy exchange coefficient, K(Z), was approximately the same as found in recent literature. 1977-05-01T07:00:00Z text application/pdf https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/3821 https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4833&context=etd Copyright for this work is held by the author.
