Analysis of diabatic flow modification in the internal boundary layer
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2012
Measurements at two meteorological masts in Denmark, Horns Rev in the sea and Høvsøre near the coastline
on land, are used to analyze the behaviour of the flow after a smooth-to-rough change in surface conditions.
The study shows that the wind profile within the internal boundary layer is controlled by a combination of
both downstream and upstream stability and surface roughness conditions. A model based on a diffusion
analogy is able to predict the internal boundary layer height well. Modeling the neutral and long-term wind
profile with a 3 layer linear interpolation scheme gives good results at Høvsøre. Based on a comparison with a
numerical model and the measurements, the constants in the interpolation scheme are slightly adjusted, which
yields an improvement for the description of the wind profile in the internal boundary layer.
