Models of cloud-topped mixed layers under a strong inversion

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors constructed a model to relate, explain and predict features of a radiatively active turbulent cloud layer over the sea and under a strong subsidence inversion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stratified Turbulence and the Mesoscale Variability of the Atmosphere

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis is made of Gage's proposal that the horizontal energy spectrum at mesoscale wavelengths is produced by upscale energy transfer through quasi-two-dimensional turbulence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Numerical Simulation of Hydrostatic Mountain Waves

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical model for simulating the flow of stably stratified nonrotating air over finite-amplitude, two-dimensional mountain ranges is developed for accurate treatment of internal dissipation and formulation of an upper boundary region and lateral boundary conditions which allow upward and lateral propagation of wave energy out of the model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laboratory investigation of non-steady penetrative convection

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed laboratory experiments of non-steady penetrative convection in water that closely simulate the lifting of an atmospheric inversion above heated ground and found that the rate at which kinetic energy is destroyed by the downward heat flux in the vicinity of the inversion base is a very small fraction of the rate that is generated in the lower convective region.
