Journal ArticleDOI
Stability Dependence of the Vertical Wind Velocity Skewness in the Atmospheric Surface Layer
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between vertical wind velocity skewness and the stability was investigated and an empirical formula about the relationship mentioned above was derived, which appeared to be in considerable agreement with observed data.
Journal ArticleDOI
The turbulent characteristics in the lowest part of the sea breeze front in the atmospheric surface layer
TL;DR: Tower measurements for the sea breeze front in the surface layer were carried out over the Kochi plain about 2 km inland from Tosa Bay in Shikoku, Japan during the period from August 1986 to October 1987 as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Helicopter Observations of the Sea Breeze over a Coastal Area
TL;DR: In this article, the internal structure of the sea breeze blowing inland from Tosa Bay during three periods (September 1993, November 1994 and 1995) was studied using thermodynamic observations by a helicopter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Step-like temperature fluctuations associated with inverted ramps in a stable surface layer
Tokio Kikuchi,Osamu Chiba +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, ensemble averages of temperature before and after step-like temperature fluctuations reveal the presence of inverted ramps in a stable surface layer, suggesting a contribution from an ordered motion in wind.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of the structure of low-level katabatic winds at Mizuho Station, East Antarctica
Osamu Chiba,Shun'ichi Kobayashi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, low-level katabatic wind profiles are often observed during strong winds in the summer period at Mizuho Station, which is located at 70°42′ S, 44°20′ E in East Antarctica.
