Turbulent energy budget analysis based on coherent wind lidar observations by J. Xian, J. Xian, Z. Qiu, H. Luo, Y. Hu, X. Lin, C. Lu, Y. Yang, H. Yang, N. Zhang, N. Zhang

“…During the day, turbulent transport and the dissipation rate are the main dissipation terms, while buoyancy generation is the main dissipation term at night. The results show that the proposed method can accurately capture the vertical distribution of TKE, the dissipation rate, shear generation, turbulent transport, and buoyancy generation terms in the boundary layer and can comprehensively reflect the influence of each budget term on the vertical structure of turbulent energy. …”

Distribution and Main Influencing Factors of Net Ecosystem Carbon Exchange in Typical Vegetation Ecosystems of Southern China by Yike Wang, Xia Liu, Weijia Lan, Shuxian Yin, Liya Fan, Boru Mai, Xuejiao Deng

“…ECFEs exhibited an average annual carbon capture rate of 15.93 tons C (10,000 square meters)-1 (year)-1, while TCMEs and CCEs recorded lower rates of 7.42 and 7.49 tons C (10,000 square meters)-1 (year)-1, respectively. (2) The NEE remained relatively stable during the night across all types of ecosystems. However, a noticeable minimum value occurred around noon, mainly due to a combination of heightened photosynthesis, an elevated VPD, and an increased PBL height. (3) Near the light saturation point, decreased VPD improved light utilization, shifting the minimum light use efficiency (LUE) toward lower radiation levels. …”
