Stratification, turbulence organization, and pressure-strain effects on surface-layer turbulence anisotropy

Ivana Stiperski, Gabriel G. Katul, Elie Bou-Zeid +1

At large scales, the Reynolds stress tensor exhibits notable anisotropy, a key feature of all wall-bounded turbulent flows. Yet, how the drivers of this anisotropy evolve with shea…

A Satellite Remote Sensing and Doppler LiDAR-based Framework for Evaluating Mesoscale Flows Driven by Surface Heterogeneity

Tyler Waterman, Peter Germ, Marc Calaf +2

Surface heterogeneity, particularly complex patterns of surface heating, significantly influences mesoscale atmospheric flows, yet observational constraints and modeling limitation…

Evaluating Anisotropy-based Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory over Canopies and Complex Terrain

Tyler Waterman, Ivana Stiperski, Nathaniel Chaney +1

Monin Obukhov Similarity Theory (MOST) has long served as the basis for parameterizations of turbulence exchange between the surface and the atmospheric boundary layer in models fo…

Flux gradient relations and their dependence on turbulence anisotropy

Samuele Mosso, Marc Calaf, Ivana Stiperski

Monin-Obukhov similarity theory (MOST) is used in virtually every Earth System Model (ESM) to parameterize the near-surface turbulent exchanges, however there is high uncertainty i…

Identification of the energy contributions associated with wall-attached eddies and very-large-scale motions in the near-neutral atmospheric surface layer through wind LiDAR measurements

Matteo Puccioni, Marc Calaf, Eric R. Pardyjak +4

Recent works on wall-bounded flows have corroborated the coexistence of wall-attached eddies, whose statistical features are predicted through Townsend's attached eddy hypothesis (…

Generalizing Monin-Obukhov similarity theory (1954) for complex atmospheric turbulence

Ivana Stiperski, Marc Calaf

Monin-Obukhov similarity theory (MOST) stands at the center of understanding of atmospheric surface-layer turbulence. Based on the hypothesis that a single length scale determined…

Incorporating the effect of heterogeneous surface heating into a semi-empirical model of the surface energy balance closure

Luise Wanner, Marc Calaf, Matthias Mauder

It was discovered several decades ago that eddy covariance measurements systematically underestimate sensible and latent heat fluxes, creating an imbalance in the surface energy bu…

Effect of the land surface thermal patchiness on the Atmospheric Boundary Layer through a quantification of the dispersive fluxes

Fabien Margairaz, Eric Pardyjak, Marc Calaf

While advances in computation are enabling finer grid resolutions in numerical weather prediction models, representing land-atmosphere exchange processes as a lower boundary condit…
