Scale-dependency of surface fluxes in an atmospheric mesoscale model: effect of spatial heterogeneity in atmospheric conditions
We examined the nonlinear effect of spatial heterogeneity in atmospheric conditions on the simulation of surface fluxes in the mesoscale model, MM5 by testing their scale-invariance from a tower footprint to regional scales. The test domain was a homogeneous shortgrass prairie in the central part of...
