Abstract: Monin-Obukhov similarity theory of surface-layer turbulence has been extended to include all scalar quantities. The tenets of this theory, as it is presently practiced, are followed to their logical conclusions, which ...

Abstract: The Obukhov?Corrsin constants (often referred to as Kolmogorov constants) are the constants of proportionality in formulas pertaining to the inertial-convective range of structure functions (or spectra) of scalar quantities ...

Abstract: Nocturnal radiation reversal is essentially an unsteady, advective effect. It requires that clouds or fog drift over a previously cooled surface. In the case of higher clouds, reversal can occur only with a sufficiently ...

Abstract: A one-dimensional boundary-layer model is used to simulate a rare occurrence of nocturnal radiation reversal, with measured downward radiation and horizontal pressure and temperature gradients regarded as given. The time ...

Abstract: A different view of El Niño is proposed, namely, that it represents an approach towards the tropical equilibrium temperature of approximately 30°C, set essentially by evaporation, by the waters of the eastern tropical Pacific.

Abstract: The meridional transport of relative angular momentum by transient eddies is computed from the wind data so far available from the Meteorological Rocket Network for the 25?60 km region. The transport is northward in winter ...

Abstract: Algorithms are derived for obtaining atmospheric surface-layer fluxes of heat, humidity, and momentum from scintillation measurements. Both the three-wavelength and two-wavelength methods are examined, as is combining the ...
