Abstract: An observational study of mesoscale cellular convection occurring over vast regions of the North Atlantic and North Pacific has been done for the period 1 January 1969 through 30 June 1970. Satellite cloud photography from ...

Abstract: A brief review of the classical theory for convective instability is presented, with primary emphasis on the more recent theoretical and experimental findings that pertain to mesoscale cellular convection in the atmosphere. ...

Abstract: A height-dependent model of the vertical eddy diffusivity for momentum, K(Z), has been formulated for purposes of studying numerically the momentum (and heat) transfer arising from turbulent motions within the planetary ...
