A Climatology of Nocturnal Low-Level Jets at Cabauw
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A climatology of nocturnal low-level jets (LLJs) is presented for the topographically flat measurement site at Cabauw, the Netherlands. LLJ characteristics are derived from a 7-yr half-hourly database of wind speed profiles, ...
Exploring Self-Correlation in Flux–Gradient Relationships for Stably Stratified Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, the degree of scatter in flux?gradient relationships for stably stratified conditions is analyzed. It is generally found that scatter in the dimensionless lapse rate ?h is larger than in the dimensionless ...
A Conceptual View on Inertial Oscillations and Nocturnal Low-Level Jets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the present work Blackadar?s concept of nocturnal inertial oscillations is extended. Blackadar?s concept describes frictionless inertial oscillations above the nocturnal inversion layer. The current work includes ...
The Minimum Wind Speed for Sustainable Turbulence in the Nocturnal Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he collapse of turbulence in the nocturnal boundary layer is studied by means of a simple bulk model that describes the basic physical interactions in the surface energy balance. It is shown that for a given mechanical ...
Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layers and Diurnal Cycles: Challenges for Weather and Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sentation of the atmospheric boundary layer is an important part of weather and climate models and impacts many applications such as air quality and wind energy. Over the years, the performance in modeling 2-m temperature ...
