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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
