TURBULENCE STRUCTURE AND TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS IN THE SURFACE LAYER OF HEIFE GOBI AREA^*

Based on the HEIFE 1988 and 1990 pilot observations,an analysis on the turbulence structure of Gobi surface layer,mainly on the similarity formulations of wind and temperature variances,the spectra and cospectra characteristics,is presented.The phenomenon of downward water vapor flux over Gobi desert in daytime is confirmed in both observations,this and the well-known‘oasis effect’are two sides of a local mesoscale circulation.
