RISThe Marine Boundary Layer in the Vicinity of an Ocean Front
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aircraft observations obtained during the Frontal Air?Sea Interaction Experiment (FASINEX) are used to investigate the structure of the marine atmospheric boundary layer in the vicinity of an ocean front. A quasi-stationary ...
Turbulence Structure in Decoupled Marine Stratocumulus: A Case Study from the ASTEX Field Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The average and turbulence structure of two marine stratocumulus layers, from the Atlantic Stratocumulus Transition Experiment, are analyzed. These layers ware in adjacent air masses with different histories: one cloud ...
Numerical Simulations of the Response of the Marine Atmosphere to Ocean Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effect of a stable internal boundary layer (IBL) on the cloud-capped marine boundary layer is investigated using a one-dimensional second-order closure model. A stable IBL forms if there is a reversal in the surface ...
Radiative Transfer and Turbulence in the Cloud-topped Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of longwave and shortwave radiative heating on the coupling between stratocumulus clouds and the boundary layer is investigated using a one-dimensional second-moment turbulence-closure model. The decoupling of ...
On Mixing Processes in Continental Cumulus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results are presented from the 1981 Convective Cloud Precipitation Experiment (CCOPE). Aircraft data are analyzed from different flight levels within a convective cloud using the ?qQ mixing diagram (Paluch). Points on this ...
Aircraft Observations of Boundary Layer Rolls off the Coast of California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Large-scale horizontal rolls can have a significant influence on turbulent transport across the atmospheric boundary layer. The formation and maintenance of such rolls is dependent on the thermal and dynamic stability of ...
Observed Dynamics of Coastal Flow at Cape Mendocino during Coastal Waves 1996
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Airborne in situ and remote meteorological measurements from around Cape Mendocino, California, sampled during the Coastal Waves 1996 field program are analyzed for three different days: 7, 12, and 26 June 1996. Two days ...
The Stable Internal Boundary Layer over a Coastal Sea. Part II: Gravity Waves and the Momentum Balance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of the mean and turbulent structure of the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL). obtained using the U.K. Meteorological Research Flight C-130 Hercules aircraft are used to investigate the momentum balance ...
Observations of Strong Surface Radar Ducts over the Persian Gulf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ducting of microwave radiation is a common phenomenon over the oceans. The height and strength of the duct are controlling factors for radar propagation and must be determined accurately to assess propagation ranges. A ...
