The Arctic Fjord Breeze: Characteristics of a Combined Sea Breeze and Valley Wind in a Svalbard Fjord Valley
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Thermally-driven circulations are a frequent meteorological phenomenon in complex Arctic terrain, but the Arctic fjord breeze, a combined sea-breeze and up-valley wind, has received little attention. A field campaign was ... -
The Departure from Mixed-Layer Similarity During the Afternoon Decay of Turbulence in the Free-Convective Boundary Layer: Results from Large-Eddy Simulations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)This study analyses the departure of the velocity-variances profiles from their quasi-steady state described by the mixed-layer similarity, using large-eddy simulations with different prescribed shapes and time scales of ... -
An Investigation of the Grid Sensitivity in Large-Eddy Simulations of the Stable Boundary Layer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We revisit the longstanding problem of grid sensitivity, i.e., the lack of grid convergence in large-eddy simulations (LES) of the stable boundary layer. We use a comprehensive set of LES of the well-known Global Energy ... -
A Ship-Based Characterization of Coherent Boundary-Layer Structures Over the Lifecycle of a Marine Cold-Air Outbreak
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Convective coherent structures shape the atmospheric boundary layer over the lifecycle of marine cold-air outbreaks (CAOs). Aircraft measurements have been used to characterize such structures in past CAOs. Yet, aircraft ... -
Spatial variability of nocturnal stability regimes in an operational weather prediction model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Forecast errors in near-surface temperatures are a persistent issue for numerical weather prediction models. A prominent example is warm biases during cloud-free, snow-covered nights. Many studies attribute these biases ... -
Velocity spectra and coherence estimates in the marine atmospheric boundary layer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Two years of continuous sonic anemometer measurements conducted in 2007 and 2008 at the FINO1 platform are used to investigate the characteristics of the single- and two-point velocity spectra in relation to the atmospheric ...
