abstract = "The explicit coupling at meter and second scales of vegetation's
responses to the atmospheric-boundary layer dynamics drives a
dynamic heterogeneity that influences canopy-top fluxes and cloud
formation. Focusing on a representative day during the Amazonian
dry season, we investigate the diurnal cycle of energy, moisture
and carbon dioxide at the canopy top, and the transition from
clear to cloudy conditions. To this end, we compare results from a
large-eddy simulation technique, a high-resolution global weather
model, and a complete observational data set collected during the
GoAmazon14/15 campaign. The overall model-observation comparisons
of radiation and canopy-top fluxes, turbulence, and cloud dynamics
are very satisfactory, with all the modeled variables lying within
the standard deviation of the monthly aggregated observations. Our
analysis indicates that the timing of the change in the daylight
carbon exchange, from a sink to a source, remains uncertain and is
probably related to the stomata closure caused by the increase in
vapor pressure deficit during the afternoon. We demonstrate
quantitatively that heat and moisture transport from the subcloud
layer into the cloud layer are misrepresented by the global model,
yielding low values of specific humidity and thermal instability
above the cloud base. Finally, the numerical simulations and
observational data are adequate settings for benchmarking more
comprehensive studies of plant responses, microphysics, and
radiation.",
