Specification for Evaporation Duct Height Calculations
Abstract
The propagation of microwaves at altitudes close to the surface of the sea depends upon the refractive structure in the first few tens of meters. This height interval is called the atmospheric surface layer and is usually dominated by mechanical and buoyant turbulence. The average profile of wind temperature, humidity, or any scalar is determined by the turbulent motions. Roll presents an overview of the wind, temperature, and moisture fields in the first few meters above the sea surface. Meteorological measurements to directly determine these profiles in the surface layer over the ocean are quite difficult, semiempirical relationships between the profiles and the fluxes of momentum, heat, and moisture have been developed.
