Analysis of the Influence of the Length Scales in a Boundary-Layer Model

Abstract We consider the Janjic (NCEP Office Note 437:61, 2001) boundary-layer model, which is one of most widely used in numerical weather prediction models. This model based on a number length scales that are, turn, obtained from master multiplied by constants. analyze simulation results using different sets constants with respect to measurements sonic anemometers, and interpret these terms turbulence processes atmosphere role played scales. The simulations are run virtual machine Chameleon cloud for low-wind-speed, unstable, stable conditions.
