Flow in a stably stratified environment is characterized by anisotropic and intermittent
turbulence and wavelike motions of varying amplitudes and periods. Understanding …

In this chapter, regional climate conditions are described in terms of the proper ties and
behavior of the atmospheric circulation over and around the Mediterranean region (MR) …

Traditionally it has been difficult to verify mesoscale model wind predictions against
observations in the planetary boundary layer (PBL). Here we used measurements from a …

Over the past few decades the horizontal resolution of regional climate models (RCMs) has
steadily increased, leading to a better representation of small-scale topographic features …

The literature includes a wide variety of definitions or perceptions of non-stationarity. Non-
stationarity can be expressed in terms of turbulence statistics or variability of the forcing of …

Previous observational studies in the stable boundary layer diverge appreciably on the
values of dimensionless ratios between turbulence-related quantities and on their stability …

For the near-calm stable boundary layer, nominally 2-m mean wind speed< 0.5 ms− 1, the
time-average turbulent flux is dominated by infrequent mixing events. These events are …

Investigation of low-wind cases observed during the Urban Turbulent Project campaign
(Torino, Italy) and at the Santa Maria meteorological station (Santa Maria, Brazil) provides …

The increased social need for more precise and reliable weather forecasts, especially when
focusing on extreme weather events, pushes forward research and development in …
