Abstract: Advances in remote sensing and in situ measurement techniques have revealed the full continuum of atmospheric motions and have underlined the importance of mesoscale processes. This paper examines the implications of three ...

Abstract: The standard picture of atmospheric dynamics is that of an isotropic two-dimensional large scale and an isotropic three-dimensional small scale, the two separated by a dimensional transition called the ?mesoscale gap.? ...

Abstract: The standard model of atmospheric motions divides the atmosphere into distinct two- and three-dimensional isotropic turbulent regimes separated by a dimensional transition, the ?mesoscale gap.? It is argued that the ?gap? ...

Abstract: Taking the example of the meteorological measuring network, it is shown how the density of stations can be characterized by multifractal measures. A series of multifractal analysis techniques are applied (including new ...

Abstract: A codimension multifractal methodology was used to analyze and to model scalar concentration fluctuations within sulfur hexafluoride tracer gas plumes from a line source in atmospheric surface-layer flows. Correspondence ...
