PIV Measurements in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer within and above a Mature Corn Canopy. Part II: Quadrant-Hole Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Quadrant-hole (Q-H) analysis is applied to PIV data acquired just within and above a mature corn canopy. The Reynolds shear stresses, transverse components of vorticity, as well as turbulence production and cascading part ...
Trends in U.S. Hourly Precipitation Variance 1949–2009
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractDrawing from a NOAA database of hourly precipitation data from 5995 stations in the contiguous United States over the period 1949?2009, the authors investigate possible trends in the variance of the hourly ...
Turbulence Characteristics and Dissipation Estimates in the Coastal Ocean Bottom Boundary Layer from PIV Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Turbulence characteristics in the coastal ocean bottom boundary layer are measured using a submersible Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system with a sample area of 20 ? 20 cm2. Measurements are performed in the New York ...
On the Structure of Turbulence in the Bottom Boundary Layer of the Coastal Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Six sets of particle image velocimetry (PIV) data from the bottom boundary layer of the coastal ocean are examined. The data represent periods when the mean currents are higher, of the same order, and much weaker than the ...
PIV Measurements in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer within and above a Mature Corn Canopy. Part I: Statistics and Energy Flux
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements just within and above a mature corn canopy have been performed to clarify the small-scale spatial structure of the turbulence. The smallest resolved scales are about 15 times ...
Distribution of Energy Spectra, Reynolds Stresses, Turbulence Production, and Dissipation in a Tidally Driven Bottom Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Seven sets of 2D particle image velocimetry data obtained in the bottom boundary layer of the coastal ocean along the South Carolina and Georgia coast [at the South Atlantic Bight Synoptic Offshore Observational Network ...
