Zusammenfassung

Mit Hilfe einer fahrbaren Anlage wird die vertikale Tn-Verteilung in der bodennahen Atmosphäre gemessen und daraus der turbulente Massentransport in diesem Bereich berechnet. Erstmals wird versucht, diese Methode in einem Waldgebiet anzuwenden. Neben ausführlichen Messungen der Radon- und Thoron-Exhalation — eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für derartige Untersuchungen — werden erste Ergebnisse zur Bestimmung des Massenaustausches und deren Abhängigkeit von einigen meteorologischen Parametern dargestellt.

Summary

Using a mobile station, the vertical distribution of Tn is measured in the atmosphere close to the ground. From the results, the turbulent mass transport in this region is calculated. For the first time, this method has been applied in a forest. An essential requirement is the extensive measurement of exhalation of both Rn and Tn. First results towards a determination of mass exchange and of its dependence on certain meteorological parameters are presented.
