Journal ArticleDOI
A three-dimensional Eulerian acid deposition model: Physical concepts and formulation
Julius S. Chang,Richard A. Brost,I. S. A. Isaksen,Sasha Madronich,Paulette Middleton,William R. Stockwell,Chris J. Walcek +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a three-dimensional Eulerian regional acid deposition model is developed to calculate episodic chemical concentrations and dry and wet deposition of acids in North America using temporally and spatially varying meteorology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Top-down and bottom-up diffusion of a scalar in the convective boundary layer
TL;DR: In this paper, the vertical diffusion of a passive conservative scalar through the convective PBL is actually the superposition of what we call "top-down" and "bottom up" processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Decay of Convective Turbulence
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the decay of convective turbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer when the upward surface sensible heat flux is suddenly stopped, and found that the temperature fluctuations start to decrease almost immediately after the forcing has been removed, whereas the turbulent kinetic energy stays constant for a time t ≈ h/w.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiative Cooling Effects within and above the Nocturnal Boundary Layer
J. R. Garratt,Richard A. Brost +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors calculated in situ longwave radiative flux divergence for use in a simplified second-order closure model of nocturnal boundary-layer evolution for representative tropospheric profiles of water vapor, CO2 and temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine Stratocumulus Layers. Part II: Turbulence Budgets
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the turbulence profiles and budgets for two days of radiation, dynamical and thermodynamical observations by the NCAR Electra in shallow marine stratocumulus off the California coast in June 1976.
