Turbulence measurements carried out in the near neutral surface layer are presented. The wind velocity components were measured with sonic anemometers at 2 and 10 m height. Three masts are considered, placed about 4 km upwind, on the top and about 6 km downwind of Inexpressible Island, a relief 300 m high and 1 km in cross-section.

Local equilibrium is found in the inertial subrange and in (at least in part of) the intermediate range, characterized by different slopes upwind and downwind (k(-1) and k(-5/3), respectively) for the components parallel to the terrain.

Abstract
Turbulence measurements carried out in the near neutral surface layer are presented. The wind velocity components were measured with sonic anemometers at 2 and 10 m height. Three masts are considered, placed about 4 km upwind, on the top and about 6 km downwind of Inexpressible Island, a relief 300 m high and 1 km in cross-section. Spectral features are discussed in detail. Local equilibrium is found in the inertial subrange and in (at least in part of) the intermediate range, characterized by different slopes upwind and downwind (k(-1) and k(-5/3), respectively) for the components parallel to the terrain.File in questo prodotto:
