Plot of the TKE dissipation rate \(\varepsilon\) against \(\sigma\) (left) and the buoyancy length scale L_B (right) for various wind speeds and AGL altitudes. The black line is for White et al. (1999) formulation for zero wind speed and 2 km altitude. The red line is the Weinstock formulation. The numerical model results are: blue line for altitude = 2 km, wind speed = 0 m/s, cyan line for altitude = 2 km, wind speed = 10 m/s, magenta line for altitude = 10 km, wind speed = 0 m/s, and green line for altitude = 10 km, wind speed = 10 m/s. Note that the cyan and magenta lines have essentially been overwritten by the green line
