Abstract
The present study uses observational data from a residential site in Tokyo, Japan and a rice paddy in Chiba Pref., Japan, to investigate the relative facility with heat, water vapor, and carbon dioxide are transported by turbulence in the surface layer. The ratios of linear correlation coefficients |rwT/ruw| and |rwq/ruw| increase with stability and the ratios at residential area are generally smaller than at rice paddy due to bluff-body effects. At rice paddy, the ratios of linear correlation coefficient |rwc/rwq| is generally smaller than unity. Meanwhile at the residential area, the distribution of the ratio |rwc/rwq| scatters to |z'/L|. This inequality may be caused by the complex source patterns of the urban surface and the vertical profile within the canopy. Inequalities of transfer between T, c, and q will imply that the diffusion coefficient between them have different value respectively.
