The relationship between carbon isotope discrimination, Δ, measured in plant dry matter and the ratio of intercellular to atmospheric partial pressures of CO2, pi/pa, in leaves was examined in two glasshouse experiments using 14 wheat genotypes selected on the basis of variation in Δ of dry matter. Genotypic variation in Δ was similar in both experiments, with an average range of 1.8 x 10-3. Variation in pi/pa was significant but the range in pi/pa was relatively small, averaging 0.075. In both experiments, Δ measured in dry matter and pi/pa measured in flag leaves were positively correlated. Variation among genotypes in pi/pa was attributed, approximately equally, to variation in leaf conductance and in photosynthetic capacity. The relationship between plant transpiration efficiency, W* (the amount of above-ground dry matter produced per unit water transpired) and � was also examined. There was a negative correlation between W * and Δ; under well watered conditions and under gradually increasing terminal water stress. The relationship between W* of stressed plants and Δ measured in well watered plants was also negative. These results indicate that genotypic variation in Δ measured in dry matter should provide a reasonable measure of genotypic variation in long-term mean leaf pi/pa in wheat. Further, selection for improved plant transpiration efficiency in wheat under both well watered and terminally water- stressed conditions should be possible based on Δ measured in well watered plants. The extent to which such selection will be effective in improving transpiration efficiency at the field canopy level may depend on the influence of boundary layer resistance on transpirationsal water loss. Under well watered conditions and at full canopy closure, the influence of boundary layer resistance on canopy water loss may be relatively large and stomatal control of water loss may be limited. Under water stress, stomatal control of canopy water loss will be greater.

Abstract. Nocturnal turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) and fluxes of energy, CO2 and O3 between the Amazon forest and the atmosphere are evaluated for a 20-day campaign at the Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO) site. The distinction of these quantities between fully turbulent (weakly stable) and intermittent (very stable) nights is discussed. Spectral analysis indicates that low-frequency, nonturbulent fluctuations are responsible for a large portion of the variability observed on intermittent nights. In these conditions, the low-frequency exchange may dominate over the turbulent transfer. In particular, we show that within the canopy most of the exchange of CO2 and H2O happens on temporal scales longer than 100 s. At 80 m, on the other hand, the turbulent fluxes are almost absent in such very stable conditions, suggesting a boundary layer shallower than 80 m. The relationship between TKE and mean winds shows that the stable boundary layer switches from the very stable to the weakly stable regime during intermittent bursts of turbulence. In general, fluxes estimated with long temporal windows that account for low-frequency effects are more dependent on the stability over a deeper layer above the forest than they are on the stability between the top of the canopy and its interior, suggesting that low-frequency processes are controlled over a deeper layer above the forest.

SummaryConsideration is given to the relationship H1 = f(H) linking the common shape factor H and the mass-flow shape parameter H1 which is used in entrainment models of boundary-layer development. A formula suggested by Green et al is found to be most nearly consistent with the measurements presented. However, a more exact prediction of H1 is obtained by introducing a factor involving the Reynolds number based on the local momentum thickness θ; thus H1 = f(H, Reθ). Predictions obtained by incorporating the appropriately modified entrainment equation into the well-known method of Green et al prove not to give an improved representation of the development of boundary layers studied experimentally by the authors and others. It is concluded that the modified formula for H1 is primarily useful in giving an improved specification of the overall boundary layer thickness δ = θ(H1 + H), and hence of other features of the developing profile.

Mathematical model is one of the means to study of turbulent wave boundary layer. The paper analysis of the existing model, adopt a more reasonable boundary condition to establish a improved mathematical model of 1DV turbulent wave boundary layer using k-ε model. The paper recommends brief flow simulation and mainly introduced the simulation of the sediment concentration. The paper use the eddy-viscosity value which calculation by the mathematical model and the model of You Zaijin on time-invariant eddy-viscosity into the relationship about sediment diffusion coefficient and eddy-viscosity to calculate the sediment concentration. The calculation results turns out the way that use the eddy-viscosity value which calculation by the mathematical model into the relationship can obtain better timely sediment concentration value. When use the model simulates the time-invariant sediment concentration, the two ways have not many distinctions. It means the way that that use the eddy-viscosity value which calculation by the mathematical model into the relationship is feasible.
