Estimation of the Turbulent Fraction in the Free Atmosphere from MST Radar Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Small-scale turbulence in the free atmosphere is known to be intermittent in space and time. The turbulence fraction of the atmosphere is a key parameter in order to evaluate the transport properties of small-scale motions ...
Moisture and Temperature Limits of the Equilibrium Evapotranspiration Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Energy balance measurements of evapotranspiration from a developing corn crop are compared with daily equilibrium evapotranspiration estimates to examine the accuracy of the model and the environmental conditions under ...
Convective Instability Underneath Midlevel Clouds: Comparisons between Numerical Simulations and VHF Radar Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eep turbulent layers can sometimes be observed on the underside of clouds that extend above upper-level frontal zones. In a recent study based on 3D numerical simulations with idealized initial conditions, it was found ...
Turbulence Patch Identification in Potential Density or Temperature Profiles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Thorpe analysis is a recognized method used to identify and characterize turbulent regions within stably stratified fluids. By comparing an observed profile of potential temperature or potential density to a reference ...
