Surface mixing and biological activity in the four Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS) are characterized by a high productivity of plankton associated with large commercial fisheries, thus playing key biological and socio-economical roles.

Parameter investigation for urban surface‐energy balance: A large‐eddy simulation study

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Large eddy simulation modelling is used to investigate the variation in surface‐energy balance (SEB) across an ensemble of morphometrically identical urban geometries. The geometries have the same plan‐area fraction, vegetated fraction, and frontal‐area index, but are unique in terms of building and green‐space layout.

Dissipative inertial transport patterns near coherent Lagrangian eddies in the ocean

open access: yes, 2015
Recent developments in dynamical systems theory have revealed long-lived and coherent Lagrangian (i.e., material) eddies in incompressible, satellite-derived surface ocean velocity fields.

Large eddy simulation of ocean mesoscale eddies

open access: yes
Mesoscale eddies produce lateral (2D) fluxes that need to be parameterized in eddy-permitting (1/4-degree) global ocean models due to insufficient horizontal resolution. Here, we systematically apply methods from the 3D LES community to parameterize lateral vorticity fluxes produced by mesoscale eddies leveraging an explicit filtering approach together

A review of the FATIMA Yellow Sea field campaign research

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The FATIMA marine fog project took place over the Sable Island region of eastern Canada (summer 2022) and the Yellow Sea of the Republic of Korea (ROK, summer 2023). Its goals are to improve marine fog monitoring and forecasting. Instrumented multiple research vessels, aircraft, tethered balloon and autonomous systems, ocean observation sites, and ...

Implementation of the LANS-alpha turbulence model in a primitive equation ocean model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This paper presents the first numerical implementation and tests of the Lagrangian-averaged Navier-Stokes-alpha (LANS-alpha) turbulence model in a primitive equation ocean model.

A multimodel intercomparison study of variable‐resolution global models with grid refinement over the Arctic and Antarctic

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We document the protocol and first results from the first ever coordinated multimodel variable‐resolution experiment set with refinement over the polar regions. We find that the refinement generally yields model‐dependent effects. The most consistent improvement is an amelioration of the upper‐level cold bias in the polar regions that translates into ...

Revisiting the Local Scaling Hypothesis in Stably Stratified Atmospheric Boundary Layer Turbulence: an Integration of Field and Laboratory Measurements with Large-eddy Simulations

open access: yes, 2005
The `local scaling' hypothesis, first introduced by Nieuwstadt two decades ago, describes the turbulence structure of stable boundary layers in a very succinct way and is an integral part of numerous local closure-based numerical weather prediction ...

Evaluating anisotropy‐based Monin–Obukhov similarity theory over canopies and complex terrain

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study shows that an anisotropy‐based generalization of Monin–Obukhov surface‐layer scaling (SC23) applies readily across a wide range of atmospheric conditions with variable terrain, canopies, and land‐cover complexity. This work focuses on the scaling of velocity variances for 7 years at the 47 sites in the National Ecological Observation Network

Complexity of Mesoscale Eddy Diffusivity in the Ocean

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2020
Abstract Stirring of water by mesoscale currents (“eddies”) leads to large‐scale transport of many important oceanic properties (“tracers”). These eddy‐induced transports can be related to the large‐scale tracer gradients, using the concept of turbulent diffusion.
