THE CHARACTERISTICS OF TURBULENT TRANSPORT IN THE SURFACE LAYER OVER EASTERN TIBET DURING SUMMER 1986

The turbulent fluxes for sensible and latent heat and momentum are computed and analyses are carried outabout the factors in terms of the fluxes,with the profile methods,based on the data from the Tibetan(Xi-zang)Plateau Meteorological Experiment in 1986(TIPMEX-86).It is shown that the fluxes of various kindshave evident diurnal variation,and each decade mean diurnal variation is quite different from others.Thesensible heat flux is about 2/3 less in July than in June.The results indicate that the averaged drag coefficient,C_d,and the averaged bulk transfer coefficient of sensible heat,C_h,are 0.0052 and 0.0075 respectively,for theperiod 13 to 28 in June for Nagqu.But for Lhasa,the mean C_d is 0.0056,and the mean C_h is 0.0085,for the period of June 11 to July 20.It is found that C_d and C_h are not only the function of wind velocity,but also influenced by stability conditions and wind and temperature gradients.
