Abstract EN
Observed turbulent fluxes, wind, and temperature profiles at Tazhong station over the hinterland of the Taklimakan Desert in China have been analyzed to evaluate empirical parameters used in the profile functions of desert surface layer.
The von Kármán constant derived from our observations is about 0.396 in near-neutral stratification, which is in good agreement with many other studies for different underlying surface.
In our analysis, the turbulent Prandtl number is about 0.75 in near-neutral conditions.
For unstable range, the nondimensional wind and temperature profile functions are best fitted by the exponents of −1/4 and −1/2, respectively.
The linear relations still hold for stable stratification in this extremely arid desert.
However, the parameters used in their profile functions need to be revised to be applicable for desert surfaces.
