Abstract

An empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis of the large eddy motion in a simulated wheat canopy is presented. The method consists of finding the sequence of orthogonal eigenfunctions and associated eigenvalues that converges optimally fast when the variance of the turbulent field is represented as the sum of this sequence. EOF analysis provides evidence of the importance of large coherent structures in canopy turbulence. EOFs provide the 3-dimensional structure of canopy coherent structures with only trivial a priori assumptions.
