Abstract
The seasonal variations in turbulence above and within a deciduous forest were studied in the Experimental Forest, in Hokkaido, in the northernmost temperate forest zone. Two three-dimensional sonic anemometer/thermometers were used to measure fluctuations in temperature and wind velocity from the period of leaf development to leaf-shedding. Variations in specific humidity above the canopy were determined with fine wire copper-constantan thermocouples placed near the sonic anemometer/thermometer. The sensible and latent heat fluxes were obtained using the WT and Wq covariance.
