Abstract
differences of potential temperature between the surface skin and the mid-mixed layer
(ML). The rate of this turbulent transport is proportional to the product of a convective
velocity times an empirical transport coefficient. New data from three different sites
within Boundary Layer Experiment - 1996 (BLX96) are used to evaluate surface heat
flux parameterization. Old data from six other field programs (BLX83, Koorin, FIFE,
Monsoon 90, HAPEX-MOBILHY, and TOGA-COARE) are re-analyzed to test this
parameterization. Evidence from virtually all of these experiments indicates that the
empirical transport coefficient for heat fluxes ( C* H ) does not depend on surface
roughness. Positive turbulent heat fluxes are observed to exist near the bottom of the
ML even when there is zero potential temperature difference ( ∆θ =0) between the
surface skin and the mid-ML. Evidence suggests that positive heat fluxes could also
occur when the surface skin has a slightly colder potential temperature than the mid-
ML, implying a flux that is opposite or counter to the potential-temperature difference.
Such counter-difference fluxes could be explained by an infrared radiative transfer
from the surface skin, or by non-equilibrium conditions during rapidly-changing
insolation near sunset.
Fluks panas turbulen dekat permukaan dapat diestimasi dari selisih antara suhu
potensial di batas permukaan (surface skin) dan di bagian tengah lapisan tercampur
(mid-mixed layer). Kecepatan dari transpor turbulen ini sebanding dengan perkalian
antara koefisien empiris transpor dengan kecepatan konvektif. Data baru dari hasil
pengukuran BLX96 pada 3 lokasi yang berbeda akan digunakan untuk mengevaluasi
parameterisasi ini. Sementara data yang diperoleh dari yang pernah dilakukan
sebelumnya (BLX83, Koorin, FIFE, Monsoon 90, HAPEX-MOBILHY, and TOGA-
COARE) digunakan untuk menguji hasil parameterisasi ini. Hasil yang diperoleh
mengindikasikan bahwa koefisien empiris transpor untuk fluks panas tidak tergantung
pada kekasaran permukaan (surface roughness). Bukti juga menunjukkan bahwa
fluks panas positif dapat terjadi ketika suhu potensial di surface skin sama atau sedikit
lebih dingin daripada di mid-mixed layer. Kejadian seperti ini, disebut counter-
difference fluxes, dapat dijelaskan dengan tranfer radiasi infra merah dari surface skin
atau dengan kondisi ketidaksetimbangan perubahan secara cepat insolasi saat
mendekati matahari terbenam.
