Forests cover nearly a third of the Earth's land area and exchange mass, momentum, and energy with the atmosphere. Most studies of these exchanges, particularly using numerical …
Abstract The Mesoscale to Microscale Coupling team, part of the US Department of Energy Atmosphere to Electrons (A2e) initiative, has studied various important challenges related to …
To determine near-surface winds within and above vegetation canopies for operational environmental applications, a wind model must run at high-resolution (O (1–10 m)), in a few …
The large-eddy simulation (LES) is an efficient method for the study of atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) flow over complex terrain. However, the robustness of LES is …
The transfer of turbulence kinetic energy from large to small scales occurs through vortex stretching. Also, statistical properties of the subgrid-scale energy fluxes depend on the …
The realm of wind energy is a rapidly expanding renewable energy technology. Wind farm developers need to understand the interaction between wind farms and the atmospheric …
