Abstract: A one-dimensional model for transfer processes within the air layers occupied by vegetation is presented. This involves a height-dependent apparent diffusivity and vertical profiles of (i) mean concentration in the air and ...

Abstract: The character of the Earth's atmospheric heat engine depends, inter alia, on the relatively tight linkage between surface fluxes of energy and of H20. On Mars, on the other hand, H2O-based latent heat fluxes are only a ...

Abstract: Forbidding supersaturation above an evaporating water (or sublimating ice) surface fixes an upper bound on ?, the Bowen ratio; a similar bound holds for evaporation from unsaturated surfaces. The bound arises from the ...

Abstract: This paper is the first of a series in which the theory of local advection (the exchange due to horizontal heterogeneity) of energy and moisture will be developed and applied to a number of problems of practical and ...

Abstract: Windward diffusion (WD) is customarily neglected in convection-diffusion studies, though some work suggests upwind diffusive flux may be significant. Analyses of internal boundary layers produced by a step change in surface ...

Abstract: Recent developments in the study of moisture and heat fields in the soil are applied to the problem of evaporation from bare soil surfaces. Most of the analysis is confined to steady conditions, but it definitely suggests ...

Abstract: Satellite images reveal tracks of enhanced solar reflectivity in low-level stratus clouds over the ocean that are known to be produced by the aerosols emitted from diesel-powered ships. The question arises: Can we track a ...
