摘要

We present estimates of turbulent fluxes of heat and momentum derived fromlow level (~30 m) aircraft measurements over the tropical EasternPacific and provide empirical relationships that are valid under high windspeed conditions (up to 25 ms−1). The estimates of total momentum fluxand turbulent kinetic energy can be represented very accurately(r2=0.99, when data are binned every 1 ms−1) by empirical fitswith a linear and a cubic terms of the average horizontal wind speed. Thelatent heat flux shows a strong quadratic dependence on the horizontal windspeed and a linear relationship with the difference between the air specifichumidity and the saturated specific humidity at the sea surface, explaining96% of the variance. The estimated values were used to evaluate theperformance of three currently used parameterizations of turbulence fluxes,varying in complexity and computational requirements. The comparisons withthe two more complex parameterizations show good agreement between theobserved and parameterized latent heat fluxes, with less agreement in thesensible heat fluxes, and one of them largely overestimating the momentumfluxes. A third, very simple parameterization shows a surprisingly goodagreement of the sensible heat flux, while momentum fluxes are againoverestimated and a poor agreement was observed for the latent heat flux(r2=0.62). The performance of all three parameterizations deterioratessignificantly in the high wind speed regime (above 10–15 ms−1). Thedataset obtained over the tropical Eastern Pacific allows us to deriveempirical functions for the turbulent fluxes that are applicable from 1 to25 ms−1, which can be introduced in meteorological models under highwind conditions.
