Generalizing Monin-Obukhov similarity theory (1954) for complex atmospheric turbulence
I Stiperski, M Calaf - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Monin-Obukhov similarity theory (MOST) forms the basis for parametrizations of turbulent
exchange in virtually all numerical models of atmospheric flows. Yet, its limitations to flat and …

Buoyancy effects on large-scale motions in convective atmospheric boundary layers: implications for modulation of near-wall processes
ST Salesky, W Anderson - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2018 - cambridge.org
A number of recent studies have demonstrated the existence of so-called large-and very-
large-scale motions (LSM, VLSM) that occur in the logarithmic region of inertia-dominated …

Scaling, anisotropy, and complexity in near‐surface atmospheric turbulence
The development of a unified similarity scaling has so far failed over complex surfaces, as
scaling studies show large deviations from the empirical formulations developed over flat …

On the influence of large-scale atmospheric motions on near-surface turbulence: Comparison between flows over low-roughness and tall vegetation canopies
S Dupont, EG Patton - Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 2022 - Springer
Abstract Contrary to Monin–Obukhov similarity theory, near-surface atmospheric turbulence
depends not only on local motions but also on larger-scale motions associated with the full …

The intermittency of wind‐driven sand transport
Wind‐blown sand is the main driver of dune development and dust emission from soils and
is thus of fundamental importance for geomorphology, ecology, climate, and air quality. Even …

Scaling of velocity fluctuations in statistically unstable boundary-layer flows
Much of our theoretical understanding of statistically stable and unstable flows is from the
classical Monin–Obukhov similarity theory: the theory predicts the scaling of the mean flow …

Logarithmic-linear law of the streamwise velocity variance in stably stratified boundary layers
Abstract We exploit Monin–Obukhov similarity theory and Townsend's attached-eddy
hypothesis and arrive at a logarithmic-linear law for the streamwise velocity variance in the …
