Journal ArticleDOI
The characteristics of turbulent velocity components in the surface layer under convective conditions
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the standard deviations of the horizontal velocity components to the friction velocity in the surface layer under convective conditions depend only on the height of the lowest inversion and the length of the Monin-Obukhov length.
Journal ArticleDOI
How Long Is Long Enough When Measuring Fluxes and Other Turbulence Statistics
TL;DR: In this article, it is determined how long a time series must be to estimate covariances and moments up to fourth order with a specified statistical significance, and the minimum value of T necessary to obtain systematic and random errors smaller than specified values.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mean-Field and Second-Moment Budgets in a Baroclinic, Convective Boundary Layer
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the second-moment budgets of turbulence kinetic energy, temperature and humidity variances, and temperature fluxes for a baroclinic, convective boundary layer using data obtained from the NCAR Electra aircraft during the AMTEX.

TL;DR: Rain in Cumulus over the Ocean (RICO) field campaign as mentioned in this paper emphasized measurements of processes related to the formation of rain in shallow cumuli, and how rain subsequently modifies the structure and ensemble statistics of trade wind clouds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of the Entrainment Zone Capping the Convective Atmospheric Boundary Layer
TL;DR: In this article, large-eddy simulation (LES) is used to investigate entrainment and structure of the inversion layer of a clear convectively driven planetary boundary layer (PBL) over a range of bulk Richardson numbers, Ri.
