Abstract: Monin-Obukhov similarity theory of surface-layer turbulence has been extended to include all scalar quantities. The tenets of this theory, as it is presently practiced, are followed to their logical conclusions, which ...

Abstract: The Obukhov?Corrsin constants (often referred to as Kolmogorov constants) are the constants of proportionality in formulas pertaining to the inertial-convective range of structure functions (or spectra) of scalar quantities ...

Abstract: Algorithms are derived for obtaining atmospheric surface-layer fluxes of heat, humidity, and momentum from scintillation measurements. Both the three-wavelength and two-wavelength methods are examined, as is combining the ...

Abstract: The temperature structure parameter at two heights over a horizontally homogeneous site was measured using optical scintillometers and resistance-wire thermometers. The scintillometers gave systematically greater values ...

Abstract: The NOAA/Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) has two coherent Doppler lidar systems that have been deployed on board research vessels to obtain data during several experiments. The instruments measure the wind velocity ...

Abstract: The first experimental test of obtaining heat and momentum fluxes from measurements of the profile of the temperature structure parameter CT2 is performed. The parameter CT2 is obtained from resistance-wire thermometers ...

Abstract: hallow precipitating cumuli within the easterly trades were investigated using shipboard measurements, scanning radar data, and visible satellite imagery from 2 weeks in January 2005 of the Rain in Cumulus over the Ocean ...
