Preface: GEWEX Atmospheric Boundary-layer Study (GABLS) on Stable Boundary Layers
Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 2006The Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) is a program initiated by the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) to observe, understand and model the hydrological cycle and the related energy fluxes in the atmosphere, at the land surface and in the upper oceans.

Predictability of the Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 1995Abstract The partial differential equation set for the horizontally homogeneous nocturnal boundary layer under first-order closure is discretized and truncated to a two-layer system. This system can be treated as a coupled four-layer ordinary differential equation set Using techniques of nonlinear dynamics, including numerical continuation and ...

Numerical Exploration of the Stable Boundary Layer
2008 DoD HPCMP Users Group Conference, 2008Simulating the stable atmospheric boundary-layer (SABL) presents a significant challenge to numerical models due to the interactions of several processes with widely varying scales. For example, at larger scales, gravity waves can extract energy and momentum from the mean flow and efficiently transport them between regions in the atmosphere. Simulation

The boundary layer can become stably stratified whenever the surface is cooler than the air. This stable boundary layer (SBL) often forms at night over land, where it is known as a nocturnal boundary layer (NBL). It can also form by advection of warmer air over a cooler surface.

Some aspects of the turbulent stable boundary layer
Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 1984We consider the structure of the stable boundary layer using the concept of local scaling. In this scaling approach turbulence variables, non-dimensionalized with measurements taken at the same height, can be expressed as a function of a single parameter z/Λ, where z is the height and Λ a local Obukhov length.

Dispersion in the Stable Boundary Layer
1988In this chapter I use current understanding of micrometeorology to describe dispersion of pollutants in the stable boundary layer (SBL). I emphasize how dispersion works rather than particular formulas that can be used to estimate ground-level concentrations.

Outer Length Scales in Nocturnal Stable Boundary Layers
Imaging and Applied Optics Congress 2022 (3D, AOA, COSI, ISA, pcAOP), 2022Recently, Basu and Holstlag (2021) proposed a unified f ramework f or describing outer length scales (OLS). By utilizing this framework, we document various characteristics of OLS in nocturnal boundary layers over the US Great Plains.

Coherent Structures in the Very Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 1989This study examines the structure of horizontal modes (meandering, vortical modes or fossil turbulence) in a layer of intermittent turbulence occurring at the top of a strongly stratified nocturnal inversion layer as observed by fast response aircraft data.

Spatiotemporal Growing Wave Fronts in Spatially Stable Boundary Layers
Physical Review Letters, 2006In fluid dynamical systems, it is not known a priori whether disturbances grow either in space or in time or as spatiotemporal structures. For a zero pressure gradient boundary layer (also known as the Blasius boundary layer), it is customary to treat it as a spatial problem, and some limited comparison between prediction and laboratory experiments ...

Diffusion in the Stable Boundary Layer
1984The diffusion of a substance released into a turbulent flow cannot be described by any one model or theory. In this chapter I shall aim to introduce and extend some of the main theoretical ideas and models that have been found to describe various aspects of turbulent diffusion in the atmospheric boundary layer. Most of the models tend to have a limited
