Abstract: The present study introduces a parameterization for the mixing in the surface-generated free convection regime (including dry and moist convection cases). The parameterization explicitly represents the plumes that drive ...

Abstract: The multiple mass-flux approach introduced in a companion paper aims at parameterizing the surface-generated convection in the atmosphere. The original aspects of this model are as follows. A number of convective updrafts ...

Abstract: Many wave propagation applications depend on the local, instantaneous structure parameters of humidity and of potential temperature . This study uses a large-eddy simulation to explore and compare the variability of and ...

Abstract: The propagation of optical and acoustical waves is affected by the atmospheric turbulence through the local instantaneous refractive index structure parameter in a volume of characteristic size r, denoted Cn,r2. Often r ...
