“…Various techniques to retrieve turbulence dissipation rates from sonic anemometers (Champagne et al, ; Oncley et al, ), high‐frequency hot‐wire anemometers suspended on tethered lifting systems (Frehlich et al, ; Lundquist & Bariteau, ), or flown on aircrafts (Fairall et al, ) or unmanned aerial vehicles (Lawrence & Balsley, ) have been developed. Despite the potential drawback of their inherent volume averaging (Frehlich & Cornman, ; Wang et al, ), the ease of deployment and extended measurement range of remote sensing instruments have fueled research to derive methods to retrieve ϵ from lidars (Banakh et al, ; Frehlich, ; O'Connor et al, ; Wulfmeyer et al, ) and radars (McCaffrey et al, ; Shaw & LeMone, ). The extension and application of these techniques have led to a systematic assessment of the variability of ϵ in both flat (Bodini et al, ) and complex terrain (Bodini et al, ).…”
