Acoustic echo sounding of the marine boundary layer

Spatial statistics of marine boundary layer clouds

[1] An analysis is presented of the structure functions and scalar spectra for 25 satellitederived marine stratocumulus cloud optical depth fields. The scenes, which cover a horizontal domain of 58 58 km at a resolution of 28.5 m, are partitioned into two ensembles on the basis of cloud fraction. For the fully cloudy scenes, although there is wide scene-to-scene variability, both the average is...

On the role of acoustic feedback in boundary-layer instability.

In this paper, the classical triple-deck formalism is employed to investigate two instability problems in which an acoustic feedback loop plays an essential role. The first concerns a subsonic boundary layer over a flat plate on which two well-separated roughness elements are present. A spatially amplifying Tollmien-Schlichting (T-S) wave between the roughness elements is scattered by the downs...

Diurnal Variability of the Marine Boundary Layer during ASTEX

The diurnal cycle of the marine boundary layer over the Atlantic Stratocumulus Transition Experiment (ASTEX) domain is examined during a two-week period of June 1992 in several fields, including: fractional low cloudiness, various parameters that enter into the heat and moisture budgets (e.g., temperature, water vapor mixing ratio, vertical motion), the budgets themselves, radiative heating, an...
