Atmospheric Boundary-Layer Properties Affecting Wind Forecasting in Coastal Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Atmospheric boundary-layer properties and processes in gulf and coastal regions have special characteristics that are important in forecasting winds and ocean forcing. Accurate coastal-wind predictions require knowledge ...
A Comparison of Surface Layer and Surface Turbulent Flux Observations over the Labrador Sea with ECMWF Analyses and NCEP Reanalyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Comparisons are made between a time series of meteorological surface layer observational data taken on board the R/V Knorr, and model analysis data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) and ...
Probability Distributions for the Inner Scale and the Refractive Index Structure Parameter and Their Implications for Flux Averaging
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Defining the averaging time required for measuring meaningful turbulence statistics is a central problem in boundary layer meteorology. Path-averaging scintillation instruments are presumed to confer some time-averaging ...
Parameterizing Turbulent Exchange over Sea Ice in Winter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) experiment produced 18 000 h of turbulence data from the atmospheric surface layer over sea ice while the ice camp drifted for a year in the Beaufort Gyre. Multiple sites ...
Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A summary is presented of the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) project, with a focus on the field experiment that was conducted from October 1997 to October 1998. The primary objective of the field work was ...
