TL;DR: The Cooperative Atmosphere-Surface Exchange Study-1999 (CASES-99) refers to a field experiment carried out in southeast Kansas during October 1999 and the subsequent program of investigation as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated nocturnal intermittent turbulence during the Cooperative Atmosphere-Surface Exchange Study in 1999 (CASES-99) and revealed three turbulence regimes at each observation height: 1) regime 1, a weak turbulence regime when the wind speed is less than a threshold value; 2) regime 2, a strong turbulence regime with wind speed exceeding the threshold value.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the turbulence intermittency generated by the solitary wave and internal gravity wave, and intermittent turbulence episodes associated with pressure change and wind direction shiftsadjacent to the ground.

TL;DR: The Coupled Boundary Layers and Air-Sea Transfer (CBLAST) program is being conducted to investigate the processes that couple the marine boundary layers and govern the exchange of heat, mass, and momentum across the air-sea interface.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the first event, the density current and its associated intermittent turbulence, and show that the height and sequence of the localthermal and shear instabilities associated with the dynamics ofthe density current are responsible for the apparent intermittentturbulence.
