Micrometeorological Data Report for the November 1978 Electro-Optics Meteorology (EOMET) Experiment at San Nicolas Island, California.
Abstract
Presented in this report are both the profile and bulk aerodynamic derived micrometeorological data taken in the marine atmospheric surface layer at San Nicolas Island, California, during a five day experiment in November 1978. Thirty-six figures are presented to represent much of the data results in graphic form. A comparison of the profile and bulk derived stability parameters strongly indicated an escarpment phenomenon similar to what had been reported for the Riso, Denmark, site. Although an escarpment induced, height dependent horizontal acceleration of the wind field profile was observed, there was no apparent effect on either the temperature or humidity profile. A suitable wind field escarpment correction for future data taking was left to the next experiment, in which a better quality bulk water temperature measurement essential to the bulk comparison would be available.
