On Estimating Dry Deposition Rates in Complex Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In complex terrain, horizontal advection and filtration through a canopy can add substantially to the vertical diffusion component assumed to be the dominant transfer mechanism in conventional deposition velocity formulations. ...
Investigations of Sparging as a Method for Promoting Cooling Pond Heat Transfer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Destruction of the thin subsurface thermal boundary layer at an air-water interface can be accomplished by relatively low rates of aeration and can result in substantially improved thermal performance when water temperatures ...
High-Frequency Temperature and Humidity Correlation Above a Warm Wet Surface
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Temperature and humidity fluctuations at frequencies within the inertial subrange are found experimentally to be partially correlated in the surface boundary layer over warm wet surfaces. The spectral correlation coefficient, ...
Comments on “Critical Test of the Validity of Monin–Obukhov Similarity during Convective Conditions”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Temporal and Spatial Aspects of Velocity Variance in the Urban Surface Roughness Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ata from six urban areas in a nationwide network of sites within the surface roughness layer are examined. It is found that the average velocity variances in time, derived by averaging the conventional variances from a ...
On the Drag and Heat of Washington, D.C., and New York City
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ata from a network of micrometeorological instruments, mostly mounted 10 m above the roofs of 12 buildings in Washington, D.C., are used to derive average values and spatial differences of the normalized local friction ...
Trends in Global Marine Cloudiness and Anthropogenic Sulfur
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A statistical analysis using published data on the global distribution of total cloud cover and cloud type amounts over the ocean, reduced from the Comprehensive Ocean?Atmosphere Data Set (COADS), shows a significant ...
Urban Turbulence in Space and in Time
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he utility of aggregating data from near-surface meteorological networks for initiating dispersion models is examined by using data from the ?WeatherBug? network that is operated by Earth Networks, Inc. WeatherBug instruments ...
NOAA’s Air Resources Laboratory—75 Years of Research Linking Earth and Sky: A Historical Perspective
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
