Vertical distribution of Kolmogorov Constants of Atmospheric Turbulence over an Urban Surface

The Kolmogorov constant is fundamental in stochastic models of turbulence, and significant in boundary layer meteorology especially. Though lots of experiments have been conducted to study Kolmogorov Constant, constant at high elevation and over urban surface was rarely researched. Therefore, in this paper, ultrasonic data at seven levels over an urban underlying surface were used to calculate the Kolmogorov constants of velocity. The results of Kolmogorov constants at the different floors indicated that the constants below 47m were smaller because of the influence of the urban canopy layer. Besides, the time-varying result showed that constants were universally independent of stability. Furthermore, Kolmogorov constant in this paper was close to the result determined by former experiments.
