Atmospheric boundary layer coupling to midlatitude mesoscale sea surface temperature anomalies

Creator:: Thum, Nicolai
Abstract:: This thesis examines the mechanisms that couple the monthly-averaged atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) to open-ocean sea surface temperature (SST) perturbations on scales of 50-500 km. The observed positive correlation between surface wind speed anomalies and SST anomalies is successfully simulated using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. In numerical...

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...

A study of turbulence in the viscous sublayer and logarithmic region of the bottom boundary layer

Creator:: Chriss, Terry Michael
Abstract:: Detailed current profiles between the sediment-water interface and 20 cm above it reveal a viscous sublayer in the bottom boundary layer on the Oregon continental shelf. Data from three field experiments are used to test fundamental assumptions about boundary layer flow in the ocean. The first study, discussed in Chapter...

Turbulence structure within an inclined laboratory convection tank

Creator:: Nance, Jon D.
Abstract:: A baroclinic, convective mixed-layer was modeled, using water, in a laboratory convection tank identical to that used in the free convection study of Deardorff and Willis (1985). Baroclinicity and mean-flow shearing were achieved by tilting the tank by an angle of 1O⁰. The resulting mechanical-production rate of turbulence kinetic energy...

Transpiration and the atmospheric boundary layer : progress in modeling feedback mechanisms

Creator:: Heinsch, Faith Ann
Abstract:: Simple models of transpiration, e.g., the Penman-Monteith equation, treat atmospheric conditions as driving variables. In fact, transpiration modifies temperature and humidity throughout the convective boundary layer, creating feedbacks that stabilize the water use of vegetation. This thesis concentrates on the new empirical relationships proposed by Monteith (1995), for developing simple...

Flow over surface discontinuities in a marine environment

Creator:: Moore, Erin M.
Abstract:: This study concentrates on analysis of LongEZ aircraft data taken offshore of the Atlantic Coast of the United States. Due to the land structure of the region, it was possible to isolate the effect of narrow land on air as it flows offshore. The narrow land (Outer Banks) separates inland...

A nonlocal mixing formulation for the atmospheric boundary layer

Creator:: Frech, Michael C.
Abstract:: A two-scale approach for the turbulent mixing of momentum in an unstable stratified boundary layer is proposed in an attempt to eliminate existing inconsistencies between parameterized mixing of heat and momentum. The parameterization of the large eddy stress is suitable for simple boundary layer models where computational efficiency is important....
