The atmospheric turbulence characteristics in the coastal region of Qatar are analyzed using the measurements conducted on the shoreline (26.08 N, 51.36 E). The micrometeorological data were collected, from August 2015 to September 2016, using sonic anemometers (20 Hz) at three heights and a weather station atop a 9-m tower. The turbulence characteristics are studied within the framework of Monin–Obukhov similarity theory (MOST), in the presence of the coastal inhomogeneities generated by the sea and land surfaces coming together. The results show the wind from the north-west prevails during the entire test period, with the wind speed higher than that from other directions. The non-dimensional standard deviations of velocity components are found to be consistent the results reported around the world and match suggested MOST scaling, with a relatively greater value for the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy. The flux Richardson number shows a larger scatter under the super-stable and super-unstable regimes. Moreover, the non-dimensional standard deviation of temperature does not align with the suggested model under near-neutral and very stable regimes, and the gradient Richardson number shows some negative values under stable regimes. Two different atmospheric daily stability patterns, ‘orderly’ and ‘disheveled,’ are identified based on the wind conditions. The orderly stability pattern shows a daily descending and ascending trend during the sunrise and sunset periods, respectively, while the disheveled days follow a random pattern with no clear order. The two patterns are then related to the wind continuity and direction relative to the shoreline.

使用在海岸线（26.08 N，51.36 E）上进行的测量分析了卡塔尔沿海地区的大气湍流特征。从 2015 年 8 月到 2016 年 9 月，使用三个高度的声波风速计（20 Hz）和一个位于 9 米塔顶的气象站收集了微气象数据。湍流特征是在莫宁-奥布霍夫相似理论（MOST）的框架内研究的，存在由海面和陆面聚集在一起产生的海岸不均匀性。结果表明，整个试验期间以西北风为主，风速高于其他方向。发现速度分量的无量纲标准偏差与世界各地报告的结果一致，并与建议的 MOST 标度相匹配，湍动能的耗散率具有相对较大的值。通量理查森数在超稳定和超不稳定状态下显示出更大的分散性。此外，温度的无量纲标准偏差在接近中性和非常稳定的状态下与建议的模型不一致，并且梯度理查森数在稳定状态下显示出一些负值。根据风况确定了两种不同的大气日常稳定性模式，“有序”和“散乱”。有序稳定格局在日出和日落期间分别呈现每日下降和上升趋势，而散乱的日子则遵循随机模式，没有明确的顺序。然后，这两种模式与风的连续性和相对于海岸线的方向有关。
