Vertical Velocity Fluctuations in a Nocturnal Low-Level Jet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sonic anemometers were installed at four levels on the Cedar Hill television tower and operated for selected periods during three weeks in August 1963. One of the runs covered the entire history of a nocturnal low-level ...
Local Free Convection, Similarity, and the Budgets of Shear Stress and Heat Flux
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Equations for the conservation of Reynolds shear stress and the two components of heat flux (velocity-temperature covariance) in the homogeneous atmospheric surface layer are derived. The behavior of the production and ...
Flux-Profile Relationships in the Atmospheric Surface Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind and temperature profiles for a wide range of stability conditions have been analyzed in the context of Monin-Obukhov similarity theory. Direct measurements of heat and momentum fluxes enabled determination of the ...
Turbulence Structure in the Convective Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results from a boundary layer experiment conducted over a flat site in northwestern Minnesota are discussed. Wind and temperature fluctuations near the ground were measured with AFCRL's fast-response instrumentation on a ...
