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…
Impact of Heterogeneity on Scalar Flux Variance Relations Across Diverse Ecosystems
Tyler Waterman, Ivana Stiperski, Laura Torres-Rojas +1
Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory (MOST), the traditional surface layer theory used to understand the behavior, scaling and exchange of heat, water vapor and carbon dioxide between t…
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…
