Studying the Afternoon Transition of the Planetary Boundary Layer [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2010 The planetary boundary layer is the part of the atmosphere that interacts directly with the Earth's surface on a time scale of a few hours or less. In daytime, solar heating of the surface can generate buoyant turbulent eddies that efficiently mix the air through a depth of more than a kilometer.

Self-organization and nonlocal nature of geophysical turbulence and planetary boundary layers
Геофизический журнал, 2010 The classical paradigm of the theory of turbulence states that any turbulent flow can be considered as a superposition of the fully organized mean motion and the fully chaotic turbulence is characterized by the direct energy cascade (from larger to ...

A novel post-processing algorithm for Halo Doppler lidars [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2019 Commercially available Doppler lidars have now been proven to be efficient tools for studying winds and turbulence in the planetary boundary layer. However, in many cases low signal-to-noise ratio is still a limiting factor for utilising measurements by ...
