Abstract: Three of the atmospheric datasets that were originally used to verity statistical dispersion theory are reevaluated. These datasets are described as well by transilient turbulence theory as by statistical theory over the ...

Abstract: n equation is presented for wet-bulb temperature as a function of air temperature and relative humidity at standard sea level pressure. It was found as an empirical fit using gene-expression programming. This equation is ...

Abstract: Static stability should not be evaluated from the local lapse rate. There is a growing body of observations, such as within portions of mixed layers and forest canopies, showing that the whole sounding should be considered ...

Abstract: A first-order turbulence theory is developed that describes eddy-like mixing. Named transilient theory after a Latin word meaning ?leap across? this approach models the turbulent mixing between arrays of points separated ...

Abstract: A simplified model for dispersion in a convective boundary layer is presented and is used to diagnose crosswind-integrated concentrations, ground-level concentrations, and vertical plume spread over flat terrain for various ...

Abstract: Two alternative parameterizations for nonlocal turbulence mixing are tested in a 1D boundary-layer model against a dataset from the 1983 Boundary-Layer Experiment (BLX83) in Oklahoma. One method, proposed previously by ...

Abstract: In Part I, external forcings such as pressure gradient, terrain roughness and imposed cooling were used to forecast the thickness and strength of an exponentially-shaped (ES) nocturnal boundary layer (NBL) temperature ...

Abstract: For a boundary layer in free convection where turbulent thermal structures communicate information between the surface and the interior of the mixed layer, it is hypothesized that the surface momentum flux can be parameterized ...

Abstract: he surface radiation budget of a groomed ski run is important to ski racing. Variables such as snow-surface temperature and liquid water content depend upon the surface radiation budget and are crucial to preparing fast ...

Abstract: The stable-layer thickness h and near-surface potential temperature strength ??s, of the nocturnal boundary layer (NBL) are shown to have a ?background? square-root of time dependence. Superimposed upon this background are ...
