Providing the best turbulent heat flux estimates from eddy correlation and bulk methods using DYNAMO data

Creator:

Marion, June Raven

Abstract:

In this thesis, data collected during the Dynamics of the Madden Julian Oscillation (DYNAMO) field campaign, conducted in the Indian Ocean in Fall of 2011, is used to compute heat fluxes at the air-sea interface by evaluating eddy covariances and bulk aerodynamic formulae. Errors in daily average gridded fluxes computed...

Masters Thesis
Coupling of Boundary Layer Dynamics, Turbulence, and Moisture Transport to Cloud Characteristics and Aerosol Concentrations

Creator:

Henze, Dean C.

Abstract:

Uncertainties in general circulation model (GCM) representations of marine boundary layer (MBL) shallow cloud cover contribute substantially to the spread in model predictions of future climate. Further uncertainties in GCM output arise from an incomplete understanding of cloud-aerosol interactions. For example, the Fifth Assessment Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on...
