  • 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...

  • Structure of turbulence in stratified flow : aircraft data from SESAME and ALPEX

    Creator:
    Gamage, Nimal K. K.
    Abstract:
    Several horizontal flight segments from SESAME and ALPEX are studied using structure functions and specral analysis methods. Theoretical analysis of the relative errors in structure function and correlation function in the presence of large scale wave activity is presented. The effect of stratification and shear on the -5/3 inertial subrange...

  • Turbulent structure in the bora and stable boundary layer

    Creator:
    Frank, Helmut P.
    Abstract:
    An eigenvector analysis of the velocity-temperature correlation matrix is applied to clear-air turbulence measured by aircraft in the Bora. The eigenvectors are identified with the main eddies of the turbulence. This study attempts to infer the three-dimensional structure of these eddies. The results are compared with turbulent structures in the...
