An Improved Surface Boundary Condition for Large-Eddy Simulations Based on Monin–Obukhov Similarity Theory: Evaluation and Consequences for Grid Convergence in Neutral and Stable Conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Monin–Obukhov similarity theory is used in large-eddy simulation (LES) models as a surface boundary condition to predict the surface shear stress and scalar fluxes based on the gradients between the surface and the first ... -
Potential and limitations in estimating sensible-heat-flux profiles from consecutive temperature profiles using remotely-piloted aircraft systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Profiles of the sensible heat flux are key to understanding atmospheric-boundary-layer (ABL) structure and development. Based on temperature profiling by a remotely-piloted aircraft system (RPAS), the Small Unmanned ... -
Scaling the decay of turbulence kinetic energy in the free-convective boundary layer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We investigate the scaling for decaying turbulence kinetic energy(TKE) in the free-convective boundary layer, from the time the surface heat flux starts decaying, until a few hours after it has vanished. We conduct a set ...
