A Boundary Layer Interpretation of the Low-level Jet [PDF]
Tellus A: Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 1961 The inertial boundary layer theory developed by Charney and Morgan to explain the intensification of currents near the western boundary of an ocean is applied to the northward flowing atmospheric jet stream observed in the lowest two kilometers over the central United States; here the mountainous spine of Central America serves as a barrier to the ...

The impact of climate change on the Great Plains low-level jet
, 1993 The Great Plains low-level jet is an important atmospheric phenomena that impacts midwestern agriculture. It has been linked to insect pest migration and it influences springtime precipitation.

WRF-Fire simulation of pyro-convection under the influence of low-level jet wind profiles
, 2015 Blowup wildland fire behaviour is characterised by a sudden increase in the fire intensity or forward rate of spread that precludes direct control. It is often accompanied by extreme pyro-convection and can pose a serious risk to firefighters.

, 2016 The classic Great Plains southerly low-level jet (LLJ) is a primary factor in sustaining nocturnal convection. This study compares convection-allowing WRF forecasts of LLJ events associated with MCSs in strongly and weakly forced synoptic environments ...

Analytical description of a nocturnal low‐level jet [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2010 AbstractAn exact analytical solution of the equations of motion is presented for the Blackadar conceptual model of the nocturnal low‐level jet as an inertial oscillation arising from the sudden release of frictional constraint (near‐cessation of dry‐convective turbulent mixing) near sunset.

The role of the US Great Plains low-level jet in nocturnal migrant behavior
, 2016 The movements of aerial animals are under the constant influence of atmospheric flows spanning a range of spatiotemporal scales. The Great Plains nocturnal low-level jet is a large-scale atmospheric phenomenon that provides frequent strong southerly ...

A: Universality in Vortex Formation. B: Evaluation of Mach Wave Radiation Mechanisms in a Supersonic Jet [PDF]
, 2000 In this thesis two distinct features of coherent structures are investigated. In Part I a model for the pinch-off process in vortex ring formation is developed.

Experimental and computational studies of factors affecting impinging jet flowfields [PDF]
, 2009 An experimental and computational study was made of a single circular jet impinging onto a flat ground board. A 1/2" nozzle running at a fixed nozzle pressure ratio of 1.05 was used in the experimental phase (giving an nozzle exit Reynolds number of ...

A Parametric Study of Vane and Air-jet Vortex Generators [PDF]
, 1998 An experimental parametric sturdy of vane and air-jet vortex generators in a turbulent boundary layer has been carried out. Experiments were carried out in two facilities, one with a free-stream velocity of 20 m/s and a boundary layer thickness (6) of ...

Nocturnal Boundary Layer and Low-level Jet Characteristics under Different Turbulent Regimes [PDF]
, 2015 The intensity, extent, and continuity of turbulence in the nocturnal stable boundary layer (SBL) is governed by many interacting processes and features. Generally, SBLs can be grouped into two broad categories: weakly stable and very stable.
