The Chemistry of a Dry Cloud: The Effects of Radiation and Turbulence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The combined effect of ultraviolet radiation and turbulent mixing on chemistry in a cloud-topped boundary layer is investigated. The authors study a flow driven by longwave radiative cooling at cloud top. They consider a ...
Mesoscale Fluctuations in Scalars Generated by Boundary Layer Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study has determined energy spectra of turbulent variables in large eddy simulations of the penetrating dry convective boundary layer (microscale convection). The simulated domain has a large aspect ratio, the horizontal ...
Entrainment Parameterization in Convective Boundary Layers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Various runs were performed with a large eddy simulation (LES) model to evaluate different types of entrainment parametrizations. For this evaluation, three types of boundary layers were simulated: a clear convective ...
