RISBoundary Layer Evolution in the Region Between Shore and Cloud Edge during Cold-Air Outbreaks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Equations for the evolution of the atmospheric boundary layer during cold air outbreaks are examined and analytic solutions are obtained which apply to the region prior to cloud formation whenever the soundings of potential ...
A Model for Entrainment into a Cloud-Topped Marine Boundary Layer. Pad II: Discussion of Model Behavior and Comparison with Other Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The model for the cloud-topped marine boundary layer presented by Stage and Businger (1981) is discussed and compared with previous models. Our model gives a considerably different interpretation of the energetics of the ...
A Model for Entrainment into a Cloud-Topped Marine Boundary Layer. Part I: Model Description and Application to a Cold-Air Outbreak Episode
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model is presented for the growth and evolution of a cloud-topped marine boundary layer. In this model the entrainment rate is determined from the turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) budget. It is assumed that the TKE budget ...
The Frontal Air-Sea Interaction Experiment (FASINEX); Part II: Experimental Plan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Frontal Air-Sea Interaction Experiment (FASINEX) is a study of the response of the upper ocean to atmospheric forcing in the vicinity of an oceanic front in the subtropical convergence zone southwest of Bermuda, the ...
