  • Mixed Layer Moisture structure

    Creator:
    Mahrt, L.
    Abstract:
    Radiosonde data from the National Hail Research Experiment and the Wangara experiment are examined to study vertical gradients of moisture in heated boundary layers which are well-mixed in virtual potential temperature. The frequent occurrence of a significant decrease of moisture with height in the mixed layer over the high plains...

  • The Influence of Boundary Layer Pumping on Synoptic-Scale Flow

    Creator:
    Mahrt, L. and Park, Soon-Ung
    Abstract:
    The influence of boundary layer pumping on an externally forced, synoptic-scale flow is examined. The results follow earlier theories of stratified incompressible Boussinesq flow theories in that the spin-down time scale and the penetration depth of the influence of boundary layer pumping are inversely proportional to the stratification and proportional...
