Estimation of the Sensible Heat Flux from Standard Meteorological Data for Stability Calculations During Daytime

  • Chapter
Air Pollution Modeling and Its Application I

Part of the book series: NATO ยท Challenges of Modern Society ((NATS,volume 1))

Abstract

The stability of the atmospheric surface layer is an important feature in models of the boundary layer and air pollution dispersion. A measure of stability is the Obukhov-length. For practical applications of the above mentioned models often only standard meteorological data are available.
