Abstract: An observational study of the cloud-topped atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) during a strong gale reveals that the turbulent boundary layer was dominated by shear instead of convection. A one-dimensional ensemble-averaged ...

Abstract: A general review is given of the characteristic problems encountered in the parameterization of the atmospheric boundary layer in large-scale models. Only those parameterizations that interact with the large-scale flow are ...

Abstract: A multilevel ensemble-averaged model has been developed to study the cloud-topped atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). Turbulence closure is formulated by using an equation for the turbulent kinetic energy and either a ...

Abstract: The dynamic properties of three types of commercially available propeller vanes were investigated in a wind tunnel. The same was done for the cup anemometer and wind vane as used on the 200 m mast at Cabauw, the Netherlands, ...

Abstract: A case study of nocturnal boundary-layer development is presented. The data include observations of turbulence and of profiles of wind and temperature. The measurements were done along a 200 m high meteorological mast. The ...
