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

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 …

A persistent spatial organization of eddies is identified in the lowest portion of the stably
stratified planetary boundary layer. The analysis uses flow realizations from published large …

Because of its non‐conformity to Monin–Obukhov Similarity Theory (MOST), the effects of
thermal stratification on scaling laws describing the streamwise turbulent intensity σu …

Based on eddy-covariance measurements over a glacier, we investigate the scalar flux
dissimilarity between sensible heat and water vapor transport in a stably stratified flow. The …

Baldocchi, D., and Coauthors, 2001: FLUXNET: A new tool to study the temporal and spatial
variability of ecosystem-scale carbon dioxide, water vapor, and energy flux densities. Bull …

Organized structures in turbulent flow fields are a well-known and still fascinating
phenomenon. Although these so-called coherent structures are obvious from visual …

Similarity and scaling arguments underlying the existence of a logarithmic wind profile in the
atmospheric surface layer (ASL) rest on the restrictive assumptions of negligible Coriolis …

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

Monin–Obukhov similarity theory (MOST) is used in virtually all Earth System Models to
parametrize the near‐surface turbulent exchanges and mean variable profiles. Despite its …
