Turbulence within a Baroclinic Laboratory Mixed Layer above a Sloping Surface
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A convection tank (of water) containing a buoyancy-driven turbulent boundary layer was tilted at a 10° angle so that mean-flow shear would occur. This caused shear-stress turbulence production to exceed buoyant production ...
A Laboratory Model of the Unstable Planetary Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Experimental details of a laboratory model of the unstable planetary boundary layer are given. Measurements of vertical profiles of mean temperature and heat flux, and of velocity and temperature fluctuations are presented ...
A Parameterization of Diffusion into the Mixed Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diffusion from a source near the ground into the daytime mixed layer has been deduced from laboratory measurements, making use of boundary-layer free-convection similarity scaling. A parameterization is presented which ...
