Recirculation over complex terrain [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2017 AbstractThis study generated eddy covariance data to investigate atmospheric dynamics leeward of a small, forested hillside in upstate New York. The causes and effects of recirculation eddies were examined to support the larger goal of improving measurement of the exchange of energy, moisture, and trace gases between the terrestrial biosphere and the ...
