โœฆ Synopsis

Height dependency of statistics of horizontal and vertical wind direction fluctuations over plant canopies have been studied, using observational data in the surface layer over paddy fields. Vertical wind directions just above plant canopies have significant positive average values and large standard deviations. The rotary spectral analysis indicates that the shear flow over paddy fields is predominantly a clockwise wind oscillation in the high frequency range.

Observations of wind velocity and temperature fluctuations were made in the nocturnal surface inversion layer over a paddy field. A remarkable wave-like motion of about 8 min period was seen in horizontal wind speed and standard deviation ofvertical wind velocity. In addition, fluctuations ofhorizon

The budget equations of turbulent kinetic energy and shear stress contain interaction terms of velocity-pressure and velocity-pressure gradient. These terms were estimated in the surface layer using the air pressure observed at the surface and wind velocity components over plant canopies. The magnit
