Similarity theory based on the Dougherty-Ozmidov length scale

Andrey A. Grachev, Edgar L Andreas, Christopher W. Fairall +2

Local similarity theory is suggested based on the Brunt-Vaisala frequency and the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy instead the turbulent fluxes used in the traditional…

The Critical Richardson Number and Limits of Applicability of Local Similarity Theory in the Stable Boundary Layer

Andrey A. Grachev, Edgar L Andreas, Christopher W. Fairall +2

Measurements of atmospheric turbulence made over the Arctic pack ice during the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean experiment (SHEBA) are used to determine the limits of appli…
