A new non-iterative approach has been developed to calculate surface fluxes. The range -5≤RiB Show moreA new non-iterative approach has been developed to calculate surface fluxes. The range -5≤RiB<0,10≤z/z0≤10⁵ and -0.5≤ln(z0/z0h)≤30 is divided into eight regions, and in each of the regions, multiple linear regression is performed to obtain non-iterative solutions for surface fluxes. As compared to the other two most recent non-iterative schemes, we show that the suggested scheme has the smallest bias. The maximum relative errors of turbulent transfer coefficients for momentum (CM) and sensible heat (CH), as compared to those obtained from the classic iterative method, are always smaller than 2 % from our new non-iterative scheme.
