Numerical simulation of the dynamics of homogeneous turbulence of a stably stratified fluid in the presence of a vertical constant-density gradient was carried by: The TLS turbulence packages were designed to collect high-quality, finescale in situ measurements of temperature, velocity (along-stream component), and small-scale turbulence (C 2 T and ε).The system consists of a lifting platform (a parafoil kite or an aerodynamic blimp, depending on the wind conditions) that can loft a vertical array of lightweight by:

Gravity waves exist in all types of geophysical fluids, such as lakes, oceans, and atmospheres. They play an important role in redistributing energy at disturbances, such as mountains or seamounts and they are routinely studied in meteorology and oceanography, particularly simulation models, atmospheric weather models, turbulence, air pollution, and climate research.5/5(2).   [1] We proposed a broad spectral data‐analyzing method to study the altitude and seasonal variability of gravity wave (GW)‐associated dynamics in the lower atmosphere at a midlatitude by using the radiosonde data from Miramar Nas (°N, °W), California, during – Generally, the presented primary statistical features of GW parameters and their seasonal variation Cited by:

### Model of gravity-wave-induced variability and turbulence in the stratified free atmosphere by C. W Fairall Download PDF EPUB FB2

A model of gravity-wave-induced variability and turbulence in the stratified free atmosphere. Assuming regions with Ri turbulent, we can examine a number of aspects of the occurrence of clear-air turbulent breakdown in the stratified free atmosphere. For a typical tropospheric condition, the average turbulent layer thickness turns out to be about 35 m and about 20% of the troposphere appears to be actively by: The momentum transport by gravity waves is of great importance to the atmospheric circulation, structure and variability, especially in the middle atmosphere.

Gravity waves are also closely related to various severe weather phenomena, such as downslope windstorms, orographic precipitation and clear-air turbulence. At high wavenumbers the model exhibits a wavenumber to the -3 dependence, which is characteristic of a continuum of internal gravity waves whose amplitudes are controlled by a breaking process.

By employing a random phase between wavenumber amplitude components. Turbulence and gravity waves in the vicinity of a midtropospheric warm front: A case study using VHF echo-intensity measurements and radiosonde dataAuthor: Andreas Muschinski.

Even more importantly, this turbulence structure in the free atmosphere resembles the turbulence structure in the stably stratified upper ocean remarkably well (e.g., Woods ). Kelvin–Helmholtz shear instabilities have been observed in both the inversion at the top of the ABL and the thermocline immediately below the by: Turbulence in the Stratified Atmosphere (10)31 As the vertical velocity spectra were also weaker than predicted by an isotropic theory, they suggested that anisotropy of the B.S.R.

Although this turbulence can occur both within and outside the convection, out-of-cloud CIT is particularly hazardous, since it occurs in clear air and cannot be seen by eye or onboard by: 2. To investigate the dynamics of gravity waves in stratified Boussinesq flows, a model is derived that consists of all three-gravity-wave-mode interactions (the GGG model), excluding interactions involving the vortical mode.

The GGG model is a natural extension of weak turbulence theory that accounts for exact three-gravity-wave by: 8.

The premise and predictive power of the methodology relies on the reduction of the flow organization and structure at small scales. For instance, the resolved-scale dynamics capture the complex cloud shapes whereas the turbulence model represents the effects of stratified turbulence in a small volume (1 3 – 50 3 m 3) of the by: 3.

The normalized buoyancy flux attains maximum values of for near shear-free turbulence at Nt 1 and attenuates to small even negative values (counter gradient flux) for larger values of Nt.

An essentially new turbulence closure scheme for neutral and stably stratified atmospheric boundary layers is presented. The scheme is based on the prognostic turbulent energy equation, which is the sum of the turbulent kinetic and turbulent potential by:.

Sensitivity of stratified turbulence to the buoyancy Reynolds number. In this article we present direct numerical simulations of stratified flow at resolutions of up to ${8}^{2} \times$, to explore scalings for the dynamics of stably stratified by: The reach and impact of atmospheric gravity waves and gravity-wave-induced phenomena span a range of spatial scales, from mesoscale to global scale and affect both the weather and climate.

While in the lower atmosphere their impacts usually remain regional, in the upper atmosphere they can dominate atmospheric processes on a much larger scale.2. Turbulence in a stably stratified-free atmosphere. Turbulence is a gas flow where there is a system of vortices of different sizes, which are creating chaotic variations of gas parameters in space and time (Monin and Yaglom,).
