The Indirect Determination of Stability, Heat and Momentum Fluxes in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer from Simple Scalar Variables During Dry Unstable Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Turbulence data from two sites have been analyzed to obtain an indirect relation between the Obukhov stability parameter, z/L, and temperature statistics during dry unstable conditions. The skewness of a single scalar ...
The Three-Dimensional Structure of Convection in the Atmospheric Surface Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During April 1978, a field experiment was undertaken at the Boulder Atmospheric Observatory (BAO), near Boulder, Colorado, to investigate convective plumes in the atmospheric surface layer. The plume translational velocities ...
The Effect of and Correction for Different Wet-Bulb and Dry-Bulb Response in Thermocouple Psychrometry
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fast-responding thermocouple psychrometers are often used in atmospheric boundary-layer turbulence measurements for the computation of heat and moisture fluxes. Small size, low cost, ease of interchange-ability and the use ...
On the Potential Impact of Daytime Surface Sensible Heat Flux on the Dissipation of Martian Cold Air Outbreaks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Martian daytime soil surface temperature is governed primarily by the net irradiance balance and surface soil heat flux. Thus the outbreak of a cold air mass generates increased sensible heat flux that is conducive to ...
Atmopspheric Measurements on Mars: the Viking Meteorology Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Viking Meteorology Experiment is one of nine experiments to be carried out on the surface of Mars by each of two Viking Landers positioned at different latitudes and longitudes in the Northern Hemisphere. The meteorology ...
