Air–Sea Interactions in Light of New Understanding of Air–Land Interactions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ir?sea interactions are investigated using the data from the Coupled Boundary Layers Air?Sea Transfer experiment under low wind (CBLAST-Low) and the Surface Wave Dynamics Experiment (SWADE) over sea and compared with ...
Dynamics of the Cumulus Cloud Margin: An Observational Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aircraft observations of shallow to moderately deep cumulus clouds are analyzed with the purpose of describing the typical horizontal structure of thermodynamic and kinematic parameters near the cumulus margin from the ...
Airborne Radar Doppler Spectrum Width as a Scale-Dependent Turbulence Metric
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Turbulence Structure of the Hurricane Boundary Layer between the Outer Rainbands
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As part of the Coupled Boundary Layers Air?Sea Transfer (CBLAST)-Hurricane program, flights were conducted to directly measure turbulent fluxes and turbulence properties in the high-wind boundary layer of hurricanes between ...
Wave-Induced Boundary Layer Separation in the Lee of the Medicine Bow Mountains. Part I: Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: wo cases of mountain waves, rotors, and the associated turbulence in the lee of the Medicine Bow Mountains in southeastern Wyoming are investigated in a two-part study using aircraft observations and numerical simulations. ...
Wave-Induced Boundary Layer Separation in the Lee of the Medicine Bow Mountains. Part II: Numerical Modeling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ountain waves and rotors in the lee of the Medicine Bow Mountains in southeastern Wyoming are investigated in a two-part paper. Part I by French et al. delivers a detailed observational account of two rotor events: one ...
Turbulent Fluxes in the Hurricane Boundary Layer. Part II: Latent Heat Flux
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As part of the recent ONR-sponsored Coupled Boundary Layer Air?Sea Transfer (CBLAST) Departmental Research Initiative, an aircraft was instrumented to carry out direct turbulent flux measurements in the high wind boundary ...
Turbulent Fluxes in the Hurricane Boundary Layer. Part I: Momentum Flux
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An important outcome from the ONR-sponsored Coupled Boundary Layer Air?Sea Transfer (CBLAST) Hurricane Program is the first-ever direct measurements of momentum flux from within hurricane boundary layers. In 2003, a specially ...
Air–Sea Exchange in Hurricanes: Synthesis of Observations from the Coupled Boundary Layer Air–Sea Transfer Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Coupled Boundary Layer Air?Sea Transfer (CBLAST) field program, conducted from 2002 to 2004, has provided a wealth of new air?sea interaction observations in hurricanes. The wind speed range for which turbulent momentum ...
