U Tower A beta DistanceXab Xab*cos(beta) is the streamwise separation distance B Tower Ua is the eddyadvection speed whichadvects the turbulent elements. It is equal to the meanwind speed U when Taylors hypthesis is true (Horst and Lenschow 2009)
Somepreviousresults: Ua is the eddyadvection speed whichadvects the turbulent elements. It is equal to the meanwind speed U when Taylors hypthesis is true • Advection speeds somewhatlargerthanmeanwind speed (in the mean, largescatter) • Largeeddies faster than small eddies (compareunstable and stableconditions) Hypothesis: • TH morelikelytrue over sea with smallerhomogeneity problem? • Influence from surfacewaves: Higheradvectionvelocityduringlargescalewave events (swell)?
