LOCAL WIND CIRCULATIONS
Abstract
Experim nts performed at Bear Mountain provide data from hich t e fi lds of mea flow a d urbulence n ar the ground in the lee of the mountain ere deline d. A model of the wind structure was developed which agrees well with the ob erved data. The odel is useful in understanding the mechanism which ge er es th ob rve urbule ce nd in isolating turbulence phenomena attributable only to the mountain from turbulence gen rated by adjacent mountains. Comparison of obs rved dat i h flow arou d flat plates in a wi d tunnel indicates the possibility of a region of high turbul nce above and downwind of the mountain top. (Author)
