Atmospheric boundary layers with weak stratification are relatively well described by
similarity theory and numerical models for stationary horizontally homogeneous conditions …

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

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 analysis of momentum and heat fluxes from the Cooperative Atmosphere-Surface
Exchange Study 1999 (CASES-99) field experiment is extended throughout the diurnal cycle …

Physical processes represented by the Monin–Obukhov bulk formula for momentum are
investigated with field observations. We discuss important differences between turbulent …

The authors investigate atmospheric internal gravity waves (IGWs): their generation and
induction of global intermittent turbulence in the nocturnal stable atmospheric boundary …

Different aspects of the stable boundary‐layer structure are contrasted between the very
stable and the weakly stable regimes from a new point of view. This study finds a limit wind …

The topology of turbulent coherent structures is known to regulate the transport of energy,
mass and momentum in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). While previous research has …

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 …
