Surface roughness can significantly influence the fluid dynamics and heat transfer in
convective flows by inducing perturbations in the velocity profile which affect surface drag …

Abstract The Community Land Model (CLM) is the land component of the Community Earth
System Model (CESM) and is used in several global and regional modeling systems. In this …

Over the last 50 years the large-eddy simulation (LES) technique has developed into one of
the most prominent numerical tools used to study transport processes in the atmospheric …

Atmospheric stability can significantly influence the spreading of wind-turbine wakes. The
previous studies often coupled atmospheric stability with the turbulence intensity and …

Flows in the atmospheric boundary layer are turbulent, characterized by a large Reynolds
number, the existence of a roughness sublayer and the absence of a well-defined viscous …

Since its inception in the 1940s, Monin-Obukhov similarity theory (MOST), which relates
turbulent fluxes to mean vertical gradients in the lower atmosphere, has become ubiquitous …

The characteristics of turbulent CO 2 transport and its dissimilarity with heat and water vapor
are investigated over both natural and urban areas. A novel index TS is proposed to …

Abstract Contrary to Monin–Obukhov similarity theory, near-surface atmospheric turbulence
depends not only on local motions but also on larger-scale motions associated with the full …

Thermally unstable stratification alters the winds over urban areas and excites organized,
large-scale motions (LSMs) in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). The current …

It has been hypothesized that the energy balance closure problem of single-tower eddy-
covariance measurements is linked to large-scale turbulent transport. In order to shed light …
