Abstract

Data collected over barren and vegetated ground surfaces were used to obtain estimates of C_n² for the damp unstable boundary layer. These data consisted of latent and sensible heat fluxes. Results from this study show that moisture effects on C_n² can be larger than generally reported in the literature. Results presented emphasize the relative contributions of temperature and moisture to C_n² for visible, infrared, radio, and millimeter wavelengths.
