| Abstract | |
The contribution of coherent structures (CSs) to daytime buoyancy heat flux was calculated for three forest sites in the Amazon region and a wetland site. Ejections and sweeps had similar contributions to fluxes at all sites, and when decomposing this contribution in scales, the resulting spectra were narrower for the forests. When accounting for times scales from 10 to 200s, CSs contributed to approximately 80% of fluxes for CaxiuanA forest site, with lower values for other locations. Among the forest, the contribution for the Jaru site was the lowest (approximate to 66%) due to peak of contribution being close to 200s. (AU) | |
