The Impact of Chemistry on Flux Estimates in the Convective Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Different higher-order flux closures are compared for two chemistry cases using a large eddy simulation (LES) model for the convective atmospheric boundary layer. Both a simple chemistry case and a photochemistry case more ...
Philosophy of Climate Science
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The use of climate simulations in scientific assessments of climate change and in the formulation of climatechange scenarios has been contested for, among others, methodological reasons. The "philosophy of climate ...
A First-Order Closure for Covariances and Fluxes of Reactive Species in the Convective Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Covariances and fluxes of reactive species in the clear convective atmospheric boundary layer (CABL) are studied and parameterized. The covariances result from correlations between reactive species. These covariances may ...
Mass-Flux Characteristics of Reactive Scalars in the Convective Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The transport of nonreactive and reactive bottom-up and top-down diffusing scalars in a solid-lid convective boundary layer is studied using large-eddy simulation (LES). The chemistry considered consists of an irreversible, ...
