Abstract: The development and evaluation of a technique to detect and retrieve coherent structures embedded in a record of atmospheric surface-layer temperature fluctuations is described. This new detection scheme, based on a local ...

Abstract: Flux footprints for neutral shear-driven canopy flows are evaluated using large-eddy simulation (LES) and a Lagrangian stochastic (LS) model. The Lagrangian stochastic model is driven by flow statistics derived from the ...

Abstract: Modern meteorological experiments are capable of generating such large quantities of data that the processing of the results can be prohibitively expensive on a mainframe or far too time-consuming on most reasonably priced ...

Abstract: A codimension multifractal methodology was used to analyze and to model scalar concentration fluctuations within sulfur hexafluoride tracer gas plumes from a line source in atmospheric surface-layer flows. Correspondence ...

Abstract: This paper shows that the inclusion of thermal effects is necessary to correctly interpret the physical processes involved in the generation or suppression of Reynolds stress and turbulent kinetic energy inside a form ...
