DIFFUSION, ENTRAINMENT AND FRICTIONAL DRAG ASSOCIATED WITH NON-SATURATED, BUOYANT AIR PARCELS RISING THROUGH A TURBULENT AIR MASS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The entrainment equations of Houghton and Cramer have been extended to include the effects of diffusion of heat and momentum and the frictional pressure drag. The equations developed from these considerations show that ...
HEAT AND WATER-VAPOR FLUXES IN AIR FLOWING SOUTHWARD OVER THE WESTERN NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Turbulent transports of sensible heat and water vapor have been measured from an airplane within southerly-flowing air masses over the western North Atlantic Ocean. It is found that the lower levels of these air masses are ...
TURBULENCE AND SHEARING STRESSES MEASURED OVER THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN BY AN AIRPLANE-ACCELERATION TECHNIQUE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method of measuring the horizontal and vertical turbulent components of the wind has been developed to meet the need for these measurements over the open ocean. An anemometer, a vertical accelerometer, and a gyroscope ...
