Stratified Atmospheric Boundary Layers

Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 1999
Various features of different stability regimes of the stable boundary layer are discussed. Traditional layering is examined in terms of the roughness sublayer, surface layer, local similarity, z-less stratification and the region near the boundary-layer top.

Modeling the Atmospheric Boundary Layer

1975
Publisher Summary Higher order closure models, which use exact equations for the mean field and approximate ones for the turbulence, can reproduce in remarkable detail, the structure of turbulent shear flows. However, the main differences between models are the closure assumptions used for the turbulence equations. This chapter explains the model for

Atmospheric Boundary Layer Flows

1994
Boundary layer meteorology is the study of the physical processes that take place in the layer of air that is most influenced by the earth's underlying surface. This text/reference gives an uncomplicated view of the structure of the boundary layer, the instruments available for measuring its mean and turbulent properties, how best to make the ...

Boundary Layers in Planetary Atmospheres

1973
In large-scale air currents, near the surface of a planet, the combined action of the pressure gradient, turbulent friction and Coriolis force results in the formation of the atmospheric boundary layer. Unlike most boundary layers dealt with in aerodynamical engineering, the atmospheric boundary layer is characterized by the influence of the Coriolis ...
