Abstract
One of the most important mechanisms for the transfer of energy from the earth's surface to the atmosphere is through latent heat due to the evaporation of water from the surface into the atmosphere. This transfer process involves highly structured water vapor mixing in the boundary layer which requires maximum observation times of about one minute and vertical resolution of 50 meters. A knowledge of this structure is needed as input to global climate models and mesoscale severe storm models.
