Abstract

The determination of the turbulent fluxes in very stable conditions is done, generally, through parameterizations. In this work the turbulent fluxes are estimated, by using a simplified model, through prognostic equations for the turbulent intensity, the sensible heat flux and the temperature variance. The results indicate that the model is able to reproduce both atmospheric coupling and the intermittent character of the turbulence in very stable conditions.
