Abstract

This article discusses a study which observed the micro-meteorology from a tower in an evergreen forest in Central Cambodia. The researchers found that the stability length indicates the atmospheric condition between weakly unstable and weakly stable 63 percent of the time. They also noted that the calculated Richardson number was smaller than the critical Richardson number (0.2) 72 percent of the time. The researchers concluded that the atmospheric stability which prevailed was generally suitable for tower flux observations.
