Figures & data
Fig. 1. Schematic representation of the measurement configurations: (a) An array of five air pressure sensors installed between the towers T1 and T2. An arbitrary air pressure wave is shown in blue. The orange and green right-angled triangles are used to calculate the direction of propagation of the air pressure wave. (b) Two air pressure sensors installed with varying distance di (i = 1, …, 5).
Fig. 2. Dependence of mean direction of propagation of air pressure fluctuations () on (a) mean wind direction at z3 (
) measured at T1, (b) mean wind direction at z1 (
) measured at T1.
Fig. 3. Dependence of mean propagation speed of the air pressure fluctuations () on mean horizontal wind speed at heights z1 (
), z3 (
) and z5 (
). A linear fit for
is shown in red (R2 = 0.83) along with the 95% confidence intervals in green.
Fig. 4. Mean maximum cross-correlation () between the air pressure fluctuations of two pressure sensors as a function of distance d. The dashed line indicates the distance d = 15 m.
Fig. 5. Dependence of PPC on mean above-canopy wind speed at height z3 for the pressure signals at distances d = 0, 35 and 90 m (dots). In addition, the raw data are fitted with a quadratic function (solid lines). The dependence found by Mohr et al. (Citation2016) is shown in red.
