イネ群落表面温度を用いた傾度法による乱流輸送量の推定

Micrometeorological observations including turbulent fluxes and canopy surface temperatures were made in paddy in the summer of 1997. The sensible and latent heat fluxes were estimated by the gradient method under the assumption of similarity between the turbulent exchange coefficient for momentum and that for heat and water vapor. The surface temperatures measured by a thermal imager and water vapor pressures estimated from surface temperatures and relative humidity were used for temperature and water vapor at the height(d+z0) of U=0, where d is the displacement height, z0 the roughness length and U the mean wind velocity. The sensible and latent heat fluxes estimated by the gradient method depicted typical diurnal varietions. The turbulent fluxes by the present method and eddy correlation method showed fairly good agreement, especially for latent heat fluxes. These results confirmed that this method is a promising one.
