Abstract: Details of the fractal interfacial entrainment (FIE) model recently presented by Kamada are compared to those of previous models, water tank results, and atmospheric data from the Wangara experiment. Effects of capping ...

Abstract: An entrainment model for the convective planetary boundary layer is presented. It is based upon an ensemble-averaged view of the local entrainment interface that caps the convective mixed layer. Fractal and variational ...
