Zusammenfassung:The LITFASS project ('Lindenberg Inhomogeneous Terrain - Fluxes between Atmosphere and Surface: a Long-term Study') of the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD, German Meteorological Service) aims to develop and to test a strategy for the determination and parameterisation of the area-averaged turbulent fluxes of heat, momentum, and water vapour over a heterogeneous land surface. These fluxes will be representative for an area of about 10 * 10 km super(2) (while the typical patch size is between 10 super(-1) to 10 super(0) km super(2)) corresponding to the size of a grid cell in the present operational numerical weather prediction model of the DWD.
