Climate and heat exchange in the oceanic region adjacent to Oregon

Creator:

Lane, Robert Kenneth

Abstract:

The climate and the exchange of heat between atmosphere and ocean are examined in a region adjacent to Washington and Oregon, and in two sub-regions adjacent to Oregon. The sub-regions are chosen such that one contains the nearshore upwelling region and the other borders it on the seaward side. The...

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...
