On Planetary Boundary Layer Flow under Conditions of Neutral Thermal Stability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A wind spiral model, similar to that proposed by Blackadar, is used to represent the flow above a surface of uniform roughness in the planetary boundary layer (extending up to ?1 km). An attempt is made to determine the ...
The Planetary Boundary Layer above a Change in Surface Roughness
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A mixing length model is used to relate the turbulent shear stress to the mean velocity field within the planetary boundary layer above a change in surface roughness under conditions of neutral thermal stability. This model ...
Average Properties of the Largest Waves in Hurricane Camille
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Ocean waves are known to be both random in time and nonlinear. Surface elevation time histories measured in the Gulf of Mexico during Hurricane Camille in 1969 are reanalyzed. The average shapes of large crests and deep ...
Statistical Comparisons of Observed and ECMWF Modeled Open Ocean Surface Drag
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The surface-drag coefficients of two versions of the ECMWF's atmosphere?wave model are compared with those of uncoupled model versions and with those of inertial-dissipation measurements in the open ocean made by the RRS ...
Wind Stress Measurements from the Open Ocean Corrected for Airflow Distortion by the Ship
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A large dataset of wind stress estimates, covering a wide range of wind speed and stability conditions, was obtained during three cruises of the RRS Discovery in the Southern Ocean. These data were used by Yelland and ...
The Fog Remote Sensing and Modeling Field Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The main purpose of this work is to describe a major field project on fog and summarize the preliminary results. Three field phases of the Fog Remote Sensing and Modeling (FRAM) project were conducted over the following ...
Achieving Climate Change Absolute Accuracy in Orbit
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: te Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) mission will provide a calibration laboratory in orbit for the purpose of accurately measuring and attributing climate change. CLARREO measurements establish new ...
