When discussing research in physics and in science more generally, it is common to ascribe
equal importance to the three components of the scientific trinity: theoretical, experimental …

First-order turbulence closure schemes continue to be work-horse models for weather and
climate simulations. The turbulent Prandtl number, which represents the dissimilarity …

Because of their limited spatial resolution, numerical weather prediction and climate models
have to rely on parameterizations to represent atmospheric turbulence and convection …

A validation study is carried out for a generalized actuator disk model (GAD) implemented
into the Weather Research and Forecasting model, an open-source numerical weather …

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 …

Baroclinicity is a common, while often overlooked, phenomenon in the atmospheric
boundary layer (ABL) that significantly impacts mean wind and turbulence structures. It adds …

The knowledge of the observed inverse energy cascade in typhoon boundary layers holds
significant implications for understanding the formation, enhancement, and deformation of …

High Reynolds number wall-bounded turbulent flows subject to buoyancy forces are fraught
with complex dynamics originating from the interplay between shear generation of …

A new mixed scaling parameter Z= z/(Lh) 1/2 is proposed for similarity in the stable
atmospheric surface layer, where z is the height, L is the Obukhov length, and h is the …

Stratification can cause turbulence spectra to deviate from Kolmogorov's isotropic power law
scaling in the universal equilibrium range at high Reynolds numbers. However, a consensus …
