Timecale of the surface flux transitions in response to a solar eclipse

Surface fluxes are highly nonstationary throughout a solar eclipse as the atmosphere repidly responds to the changes in insolation. Open questions remain about the timescale of atmospheric response to rapid changes in forcing. What is the fastest timescale and what are the associated bottlenecks to rapid change? This poster will present measurements from the solar ecliple experiment for boundary layer turbulence (SEE BLT) in which horizontal arrays of eddy covariance equipment are space in a multiscale grid to measure surface fluxes at sub-minute timescales. The timescale of atmospheric flux response will be quantified and reported.
