Abstract: A model of a field of thermals is presented to describe the observed behavior of high-Rayleigh-number convection. It is assumed that the response time of thermals within the convection layer is much less than the time scale ...

Abstract: A parameterization of the constant flux surface layer is developed in order to provide boundary conditions for numerical models of the atmospheric boundary layer and moist convective layer. Algebraic expressions are found ...

Abstract: The Southern Ocean lies beneath a unique region of the global atmosphere with minimal effects of land masses on the zonal flow. The absence of land masses also means that in situ observations of precipitation are limited ...
