abstract = {The impact of biogenic trace gases on tropospheric
chemistry, air quality, and the formation of secondary
products affecting our climate on a regional and global
scale are far from being understood. A considerable lack of
knowledge exists concerning a typical forest stand as a net
source of reactive trace compounds into the troposphere. The
concept of this study was to combine field experiments,
laboratory experiments investigating emission and uptake of
trace compounds by the plants, and modelling experiments
simulating the chemistry of biogenic trace gases and the
dynamics of a forest stand under well-defined conditions.
The chosen site was the forest area surrounding the
Forschungszentrum Juelich (Juelich Research Centre,
Germany). In order to simulate the dynamical properties, the
forest area was modelled to a scale of 1:300 and studied in
the large boundary layer wind tunnel at the Meteorological
Institute of Hamburg University. An area 3150 m long and
1200 m wide was replicated, including the upwind edges of
the forest. The model of the forest must reproduce the
resistance to the wind generated by this porous environment.
Rings of metallic mesh were used to represent the trees
following preliminary tests to find an arrangement of these
rings that provided the appropriate aerodynamic
characteristics for a forest. The turbulence properties of
the flow were measured in the wind tunnel within and above
the canopy. Subsequently, they were compared with field data
obtained at the Juelich Research Centre, in order to test
the quality of the modelling concept. The comparison showed
a good agreement and results with previous studies.
Tracer-gas experiments were carried out in the field within
the canopy, which were then in the wind tunnel. The order of
magnitude of the dimensionless concentration downwind of the
point source was in agreement. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All
