Idealized Planar Array experiment for Quantifying Surface heterogeneity (IPAQS)

This project is focused on measuring turbulence over an aerodynamically homogeneous playa surface that has heterogeneity in surface moisture and temperature. A large horizontal array of sonic anemometers will be deployed with an array of hot-wire probes covering a scales from 1-km down below 1-cm at the salt playa in Utah's west desert (SLTEST). We deployed a DTS to measure surface temperature and air temperature just above the surface (less than 1 m above the surface) covering an area of several hundred meters.

本课题致力于对具有表面湿度与温度异质性的气动均质盐沼表面进行湍流测量。在犹他州西部沙漠的盐沼（SLTEST）中，将部署一个大型水平阵列的声学风速仪，并配备一系列热线探头，以覆盖从1公里至1厘米的多个尺度。此外，我们部署了分布式温度传感器（DTS）以测量地表温度以及地表上方（低于1米）的空气温度，覆盖面积达数百平方米。相关数据于2021年8月可通过联系[e-mail]获取。
