• Characteristics of a flow in the boundary layer over a sequence of small localized urban canopies with various heights were studied by wind-tunnel experiment under neutral stratification, where "small" means that the length (fetch) is insufficient for the flow to fully adapt to the surface geometry. The sequence was composed of two taller building groups, such as commercial buildings, and two roughness areas of lower obstacles, such as houses. In the sequence, the flow passed over boundaries from the building groups to the roughness areas, named downward boundaries, and boundaries from the roughness areas to the building groups, named upward boundaries. The flow was quite different depending on the boundary types. The focus was placed on equilibrium-like states of the flow and it was found that the flow behind the boundaries were in the states in short fetches. Relating to the downward boundary, flow over the roughness areas was obtained in the range L/H=7.5 to 63, where H is the height of the upstream array and L is the distance from the end of the upstream array to the measurement position. It was found that the profiles of the Reynolds stress exhibited double-layered structure separated by kinks. In the range L/H>19, the profiles had constant forms above the kinks and the flow was in some sort of equilibrium state. It was discussed schematically and found that the double-layered structure was explained well based on the three sources of turbulence: turbulence transported from the flow over the upstream building group, turbulence caused by the downward boundary, and turbulence caused by the surface obstacles. Relating to the upward boundary, flow over the building group (cubic array with a frontal area index of 0.25) was obtained. Two adaptation processes to equilibrium state were found: adaptation of transversal average of the streamwise velocity (U) and adaptation of transversal shear of U. The latter was in balanced state in shorter fetch than the former.
