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 …

The atmospheric boundary layer is particularly challenging to model in conditions of stable
stratification, which can be associated with intermittent or unsteady turbulence. We develop …

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 …

The lower nocturnal boundary layer is governed by intermittent turbulence which is thought
to be triggered by sporadic activity of so-called sub-mesoscale motions in a complex way …

Intermittent transitions between turbulent and nonturbulent states are ubiquitous in the
stable atmospheric surface layer (ASL). Data from two field experiments in Utqiaġvik, Alaska …

Turbulence intermittency driven by submeso motions limits the progress of turbulence
theory. Field observations from the Horqin Atmospheric Boundary‐Layer and Environment …

We present the first direct comparison of turbulence conditions measured simultaneously
over exposed ice and a 0.08 m thick supraglacial debris cover on Suldenferner, a small …

The vertical structure of the observed stable boundary layer often deviates substantially from
textbook profiles. Even over flat homogeneous surfaces, the turbulence may not be …

Data collected by 12 sonic anemometers over the Plaine Morte Glacier (Swiss Alps) during
the Snow Horizontal Arrays Turbulence Study are used to investigate sources of anisotropy …

Variation of the turbulence barrier effect caused by the turbulence intermittency have a
strong impact on the vertical distribution and variation of pollutants, which limits the accuracy …
