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: 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: 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 ...

Abstract: Even though a continuum of mixing parameters ?(t, z, ?) is used in transilient turbulence theory to describe the effects of many superimposed eddy sizes (?) on the mean field at height z, the overall bulk dispersive rate ...

Abstract: A mathematical model to describe the height changes and other characteristics of an inversion base under the influence of surface convection and general subsidence is developed. Inversion interface dynamics and entrainment ...

Abstract: Penetrative convection is modeled by a series of idealized disturbances at the base of an atmospheric temperature inversion. Internal gravity waves excited in the inversion by the disturbances are theoretically found to ...
