A Critical Evaluation of the Aerodynamical Error of a Turbulence Instrument
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An instrument, intended for tower-borne measurements of atmospheric turbulence, constructed at the Department of Meteorology, Uppsala University, has been carefully tested for the errors induced by the local flow around ...
Analysis of Turbulence Structure in the Surface Layer with a Modified Similarity Formulation for Near Neutral Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from a recent detailed surface layer experiment are critically examined in terms of the turbulent kinetic energy budget and the other second order moment budgets formed by the three velocity components and temperature. ...
Von Kármán's Constant in Atmospheric Boundary Layer Flow: Reevaluated
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A field experiment has been carried out with the specific objective in mind to determine the value of von Kármán's constant in atmospheric boundary layer flow, and also to investigate its possible dependence on the surface ...
Organized Turbulence Structures in the Near-Neutral Atmospheric Surface Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Tiederman method, which was originally designed for unambiguous detection of ?bursts? in the buffer layer of smooth surface laboratory boundary-layer flow, is shown to work equally well in the neutral atmospheric surface ...
The Near-Neutral Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer with No Surface Shearing Stress: A Case Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from a marine coastal experiment over the Baltic Sea, comprising airborne measurements and mast measurements, have been used to highlight the turbulence dynamics of a case with most unusual flow characteristics. The ...
A Case Study of Two-Dimensional Stratified Turbulence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from a period with intensive measurements in the lowest 1000 m of a marine atmosphere over the Baltic Sea with strongly stable stratification and a turbulent boundary layer less than 50 m deep have been analyzed with ...
A Practical Method for Determining Wind Frequency Distributions for the Lowest 200 m from Routine Meteorological Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is described for determining wind speed frequency distributions at any height up to ?200 m above ground for a meteorological station where wind speed and direction is measured at a low reference level (usually 10 ...
Spectral Gap in Surface-Layer Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A series of measurements of wind, temperature and humidity from several heights, covering periods of the order of magnitude of one day, have been subjected to spectral analysis. Those spectral parts, which lie in the ...
Influence of a New Turbulence Regime on the Global Air–Sea Heat Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent research has found that boundary layer turbulence changes its organization as the stratification approaches neutral from the unstable side. When the thermal forcing weakens in combination with wind speed above ...
