Lakes and other confined water bodies are not exposed to tides, and their wind forcing is
usually much weaker compared to ocean basins and estuaries. Hence, convective …

The Northern Eurasian regions and Arctic Ocean will very likely undergo substantial
changes during the next decades. The arctic-boreal natural environments play a crucial role …

Severe air pollution episodes have been frequent in China during the recent years. While
high emissions are the primary reason for increasing pollutant concentrations, the ultimate …

An improved mixed layer model, based on second‐moment closure of turbulence and
suitable for application to oceanic and atmospheric mixed layers, is described. The model is …

A lake model intended for use as a lake parameterization module in numerical weather
prediction (also in climate modelling and other environmental applications) is developed …

The simulation of turbulent mixing processes in marine waters is one of the most pressing
tasks in oceanography. It is rendered difficult by the various complex phenomena occurring …

A slab model is proposed for develo** the height of the mixed layer capped by stable air
aloft. The model equations are closed by relating the consumption of energy (potential and …

Penetrative convection is discussed where the instability is driven by radiative heating of
water below the temperature of maximum density. Convection of this type occurs in ice …

The reported study examines the dynamics of entrainment and its effects on the evolution of
the dry atmospheric convective boundary layer (CBL) when wind shear is present. The …

Relationships between parameters of convective entrainment into a shear-free, linearly
stratified atmosphere predicted by the zero-order jump and general-structure bulk models of …
