The Evolution of Turbulence Producing Motions in the ABL Across a Natural Roughness Transition
Justin P. Cooke, Douglas J. Jerolmack, George I. Park
Landforms such as sand dunes act as roughness elements to Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) flows, triggering the development of new scales of turbulent motions. These turbulent mot…
