Dynamics of a differentially-heated geophysical boundary layer

Creator:

Smith, Bartlett Knapp

Abstract:

An analytical two-layer model consisting of a time-dependent stratified boundary layer topped by stratified free flow is developed in order to study atmospheric boundary layer production of vertical motion. To avoid use of a constant eddy viscosity, the boundary layer equations are layer-integrated over a fixed depth, and surface stress...
