A Diagnosis of the Asymmetry in Top-Down and Bottom-Up Diffusion Using a Lagrangian Stochastic Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A Lagrangian stochastic model of particle trajectories is used to investigate the asymmetry in vertical diffusion from area sources at the bottom and top of an inhomogeneous turbulent boundary layer. Such an asymmetry was ...
Updating Applied Diffusion Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Most diffusion models currently used in air quality applications are substantially out of date with understanding of turbulence and diffusion in the planetary boundary layer. Under a Cooperative Agreement with the Environmental ...
How Far is Far Enough?: The Fetch Requirements for Micrometeorological Measurement of Surface Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent model estimates of the flux footprint are used to examine the fetch requirements for accurate micro-meteorological measurement of surface fluxes of passive, conservative scalars within the surface flux layer. The ...
Corrigendum
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Correction to Volume 11, Issue 4, pages 1018-1025.
Evaluating Air-Quality Models: Review and Outlook
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Over the past decade, much attention has been devoted to the evaluation of air-quality models with emphasis on model performance in predicting the high concentrations that are important in air-quality regulations. This ...
A PDF Dispersion Model for Buoyant Plumes in the Convective Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A probability density function (PDF) dispersion model is presented for buoyant plumes in the convective boundary layer (CBL), where the mean concentration field C is obtained from the PDFs py and pz of tracer particle ...
HATS: Field Observations to Obtain Spatially Filtered Turbulence Fields from Crosswind Arrays of Sonic Anemometers in the Atmospheric Surface Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Horizontal Array Turbulence Study (HATS) field program utilized horizontal, crosswind arrays of sonic anemometers to calculate estimates of spatially filtered and subfilter-scale (SFS) turbulence, corresponding to its ...
