On Kolmogorov's inertial-range theories
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined consistency and uniqueness questions raised by both the 1941 and 1962 Kolmogorov inertial-range theories and showed that even scalar nonlinear cascade processes need not yield asymptotic log-normality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pressure spectra in turbulent free shear flows
TL;DR: In this paper, a spectral model for turbulent pressure fluctuations is developed by directly Fourier transforming the integral solution to the Poisson equation for a homogeneous constant mean-shear flow, and the turbulence-turbulence interaction is seen to possess the well-known k−7/3 inertial subrange and dominate the high-wavenumber region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal and diurnal variations of coherent structures over a deciduous forest
TL;DR: In this article, a wavelet analysis technique was used to identify coherent structures in turbulent flow above a midlatitude deciduous forest using a large dataset of 85 hours of data collected from both convective and stable conditions, and showed that coherent structures are responsible for only about 40% of overall turbulent heat and momentum fluxes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Models for non-Gaussian variation, with applications to turbulence
TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of the literature on observed distributions of velocities and velocity derivatives from turbulent fields with high Reynolds number is given, and the applicability of the proposed distributions and processes for modelling turbulent velocity fields is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Investigation of a Commercial Aircraft Encounter with Severe Clear-Air Turbulence over Western Greenland
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present digitalflight data recorder (DFDR) analyses and high-resolution numerical simulations relevant to a severe clear-air turbulence (CAT) encounter overwestern Greenland by a Boeing 777 aircraft at 10-km elevation at 1305 UTC 25 May 2010.

Large-scale balance of kinetic energy in the atmosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, the vertical distribution and seasonal variation of the kinetic energy balance of the atmosphere were studied from 11 months' daily wind and geopotential data during 1962 and 1963 over North America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diurnal and long-term variations of the kinetic energy generation and dissipation for a five-year period
TL;DR: In this article, the diurnal variation and long-term variation of the kinetic energy generation and dissipation were investigated with the wind and geopotential data observed twice a day at 00 and 12 gmt over North America during a 5-yr period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empirical Studies of Atmospheric Structure and Spectra in the Free Atmosphere
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the available knowledge about turbulence in the free atmosphere is presented, and it is shown that the micrometeorological maximum, which probably exists in cases of moderate and severe air turbulence, is not separated from synoptic scale motions by a deep mesoscale gap.
