A Remark on the Energy Transport from a Warm River Surface into Cold Air
Abstract
Temperature measurements in very cold air above an open river surface indicate that in spite of very high temperature lapse rate (temperature of river, in the 2 cm, 10 cm, and 12 m levels are + 0.5, –14.0, –15.3, and –18.0° C respectively), the eddy conductivity is of the same order of magnitude as in extremely stable conditions (e. g. above a snow surface during nocturnal cooling).
