Surface heat flux estimates from NCAR electra data over the pacific warm pool during TOGA COARE

Creator:

Greiser, Christine M.

Abstract:

The warm pool region of the western tropical Pacific is of particular interest to atmospheric dynamics because it represents a significant source of energy to the atmosphere. A better understanding of heat transfer driven by mesoscale and turbulent circulations within this region could lead to improved global circulation models, and...

Observational studies of stable nocturnal boundary layers: intermittent turbulence, sensible heat budgets and observational errors

Creator:

Nakamura, Reina

Abstract:

Atmospheric boundary layers become stably stratified at night over land when the surface becomes colder than the air layer above. In stable nocturnal boundary layers (SNBL), turbulence becomes weak and intermittent, terrain-induced phenomena such as drainage currents or gravity-waves emerge and the surface heterogeneity is enhanced. Because of their complexity...

Describing the thermal regimes of two northeastern Oregon streams

Creator:

Raven, Sonja E.

Abstract:

Two tributaries of the south fork of the Burnt River, near Unity Oregon were studied during the summers of 2000 and 2001 to determine water heating and cooling patterns. Hourly temperature data were recorded for air, water, and soil parameters at four elevations 150m apart on Barney and Stevens Creeks....
