Energy Dissipation Rate calculation algorithm for tethered balloon-borne turbulence observations during MOSAiC Legs 1, 2, and 3
- 1. Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research, Leipzig, Germany
Description
The energy dissipation rate calculation algorithm is an algorithm to derive local energy dissipation rates from high-resolution wind velocity records. The algorithm is based on inertial subrange scaling and it uses the second-order structure function. First, the algorithm calculates the second order structure function for different inertial subranges. As a next step, the inertial subrange with the scaling coefficient closest to 2/3 is chosen to derive the local energy dissipation rate for the sub-record. If the scaling coefficient is not within the accepted range, the energy dissipation rate is set to "not a number". The algorithm is written in python and needs input data sets.
The energy dissipation rate calculation algorithm was developed for tethered balloon-borne turbulence measurements of a hot-wire anemometer package operated during the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition.
