Abstract: The conventional theory of the scattering of transmitted acoustic, microwave, and optical radiation by turbulence uses the refractive index structure-function parameter CN2. The authors calculate the vertical profiles of ...

Abstract: The surface fluxes in the fine-mesh numerical codes used in small-scale meteorology are typically diagnosed from resolvable-scale variables through surface-exchange coefficients. This is appropriate if the aspect ratio ...

Abstract: A simple approach to modeling spectra in unstable atmospheric surface layers is presented. The authors use a single form for the two-dimensional spectrum of horizontal velocity, vertical velocity, and a scalar in the ...
