Influence of stratification and accelerations on boundary production of vertical motion

Creator:: 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. These theories state that the spin-down time scale and the penetration depth of the influence of boundary layer pumping are inversely proportional to the stratification and directly...

A conditional analysis method applied to globally intermittent turbulence

Creator:: Klipp, Cheryl L.
Abstract:: Globally intermittent turbulence is characterized by sudden switching from significant turbulence to weak turbulence and back on time scales ranging from seconds to tens of minutes as opposed to microscale intermittency, which is due to organization of small scale gradients by individual eddies on scales as small as the Kolmogorov...

An examination of structure and parameterization of turbulence in the stably-stratified atmospheric boundary layer

Creator:: Ruscher, Paul Harold
Abstract:: The very stable boundary layer is a region of the atmosphere typified by large vertical gradients of temperature and momentum. Analysis of very stable atmospheric flows is complicated by the presence of nonlinear interactions among gravity waves, shear-driven overturning circulations, two-dimensional vortical modes and intermittent turbulence in various stages of...

Sudden changes in local mean values demarcate geophysical regimes

Creator:: Howell, James F., 1965-
Abstract:: Sudden changes occur where the mean values associated with two adjacent non-overlapping windows of data are anomalously different, and the transition between the window means occurs over a scale that is small relative to the scale of the windows. Positions of sudden changes can be economically retrieved. The sudden change...

Modelling and analysis of geophysical turbulence : use of optimal transforms and basis sets

Creator:: Gamage, Nimal K. K.
Abstract:: The use of efficient basis functions to model and represent flows with internal sharp velocity gradients, such as shocks or eddy microfronts, are investigated. This is achieved by analysing artificial data, observed atmospheric turbulence data and by the use of a Burgers' equation based spectral model. The concept of an...

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...
