A Study of the Relationship between Low-level Jet and Inversion Layer over an Agroforest Ecosystem in East China Plain?

The relationship between the super-low-level jet (LLJ) and inversion layer over an agroforest ecosystem on the Huang-Huai-Hai plain in the eastern China is studied by means of a time-independent K-closure model. It is found that the intensified inversion near the surface of a luxuriantly growing agrofor-est ecosystem leads to the formation and development of the LLJ, the more intense the inversion, the strong-er is the LLJ. The critical value of inversion intensity index for the LLJ formation is 0.75℃/ 100 m, which relates to the necessary geostraphic wind velocity of 6.0 to 10 m/ s at the top level of the model The numer-ical calculations show that the roughness length of the underlying surface has considerable effects on the LLJ structure.
