Integrated Stability Correction Functions for Heat and Momentum
Description
dimensionless stability functions needed to correct deviations from the exponential wind profile under non-neutral conditions.
Usage
stability.correction(zeta, formulation = c("Dyer_1970", "Businger_1971"))
Arguments
zeta |
Stability parameter zeta (-) |
formulation |
Formulation for the stability function. Either |
Details
The functions give the integrated form of the universal functions. They
depend on the value of the stability parameter \zeta
,
which can be calculated from the function stability.parameter
.
The integration of the universal functions is:
\psi = -x * zeta
for stable atmospheric conditions (\zeta
>= 0), and
\psi = 2 * log( (1 + y) / 2)
for unstable atmospheric conditions (\zeta
< 0).
The different formulations differ in their value of x and y.
Value
a data.frame with the following columns:
psi_h |
the value of the stability function for heat and water vapor (-) |
psi_m |
the value of the stability function for momentum (-) |
