Fig. 4. Relationship between lidar and eddy covariance derived integral spatial scales and the Obukhov length estimated from the Bosque experiments. The similarity model based on a stability function is shown as a dotted line and the ±10% uncertainty functions are shown as dashed lines. Inset A shows statistical analysis of eddy covariance sonic anemometer measured Obukhov length (L) versus lidar-derived values (points), where the solid line is the unity scale and the least-squares regression line (dotted line with equation) is shown with ±95% confidence intervals.
