Stochastic analysis of neutrally stratified cirrus layer
Two cirrus cloud systems observed during the winter of 2001 at the Southern Great Plains site of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurements program in Oklahoma, USA are studied because of the distinct neutrally stratified layers formed within the clouds. Observations are obtained with 35GHz millimeter-wave radar and backscattering cross-section ZðtÞ signals within radar-reflectivity restricted subl...
متن کاملInternal gravity waves generated by a turbulent bottom Ekman layer
Internal gravity waves excited by the turbulent motions in a bottom Ekman layer are examined using large-eddy simulation. The outer flow is steady and uniformly stratified while the density gradient is set to zero at the flat lower wall. After initializing with a linear density profile, a mixed layer forms near the wall separated from the ambient stratification by a pycnocline. Two types of int...
متن کاملThe length scale equation in turbulence models
The question of which length scale equation to use in models of turbulence has long been controversial and several approaches have been suggested and used in the past. In this paper, we demonstrate that all these approaches are equivalent and the inconsistencies in the use of some of these approaches arise from improper modeling of the diffusion term in the length scale equation. We formulate a...
متن کاملOptimal Length Scale for a Turbulent Dynamo.
We demonstrate that there is an optimal forcing length scale for low Prandtl number dynamo flows that can significantly reduce the required energy injection rate. The investigation is based on simulations of the induction equation in a periodic box of size 2πL. The flows considered are the laminar and turbulent ABC flows forced at different forcing wave numbers k_{f}, where the turbulent case i...
متن کاملUniversal dependences between turbulent and mean flow parameters in stably and neutrally stratified Planetary Boundary Layers
We consider the resistance law for the planetary boundary layer (PBL) from the point of view of the similarity theory. In other words, we select the set of the PBL governing parameters and search for an optimal way to express through these parameters the geostrophic drag coefficient Cg=u∗/Ug and the cross isobaric angle α(where u∗ is the friction velocity and Ug is the geostrophic wind speed). ...
