McGrath,Kim Naudts,Kim Naudts,Juliane Otto,Catherine Ottlé,Philippe Peylin,Jan Polcher,Aude Valade,Andrew Black,Jan Elbers,Eddy Moors,Thomas Foken,Eva van Gorsel,Vanessa Haverd,Bernard Heinesch,Frank Tiedemann,Alexander Knohl,Samuel Launiainen,Dennis Loustau,Jérôme Ogée,Timo Vessala,Sebastiaan Luyssaert,Sebastiaan Luyssaert +26 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the performance of a newly developed multi-layer energy budget in the ORCHIDEE-CAN v1.0 land surface model (Organising Carbon and Hydrology In Dynamic Ecosystems -CANopy), which simulates canopy structure and can be coupled to an atmospheric model using an implicit coupling procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flux calculation of short turbulent events – comparison of three methods
TL;DR: In this article, wavelet analysis was used to calculate vertical turbulent exchange fluxes between ecosystems and the atmosphere, which do not need the steady-state assumption. But the wavelet method requires steady state flow conditions, and if this requirement is not fulfilled over the averaging interval of, for example, 30 min, the fluxes might be miscalculated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coherent Structures at a Forest Edge: Properties, Coupling and Impact of Secondary Circulations
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of coherent structures on the exchange process in the case of forest edges has been investigated and a consistent picture of coherent transport has been derived: along the forest edge there is mainly good coupling by coherent structures, whereas perpendicular to the forest edges there are mainly decoupling.
Journal ArticleDOI
A 3-year dataset of sensible and latent heat fluxes from the Tibetan Plateau, derived using eddy covariance measurements

TL;DR: In this article, a 3-year dataset (2008-2010) of eddy covariance measured turbulent fluxes was compiled from four stations on the Tibetan Plateau into a standardised workflow: corrections and quality tests were applied using an internationally comparable software package.
