The Study of Monin-Obukhov Similarity of Vertical Wind Velocity and Scalar Quantities in the Atmospheric Surface Layer

Standard deviations for vertical wind velocity and scalar quantities, such as carbon dioxide,c, and water vapor,q, were analyzed on the basis of Monin-Obukhov similarity theory in the atmospheric surface layer. The correlation coefficient between scalar quantities c and q ,|R(cq)|, was derived from the similarity functions and can be expressed as the ratio of B(q)/B(c)(B(q)≤B(c)), where parameter B is the value of the normalized standard deviation of carbon dioxide and water vapor at neutral conditions.
