Stochastic modeling of transient neutral and stably‐stratified Ekman boundary layers

Neutral and stably-stratified Ekman boundary layers (EBLs) are numerically investigated with a stochastic one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model. EBLs achieve the bulk-surface coupling in Earth's atmosphere. They challenging due to transient non-universal properties even at small scales. ODT addresses this problem by distinguishing turbulent-advective from molecular-diffusive transport processes for vertical column along which all relevant scales of flow resolved. We demonstrate model's capabilities economical, accurate, stratification regime independent simulation wind-turning angle. reproduces extrapolates reference direct numerical results consistent observations. conclude that may be useful modeling atmospheric surface layers.
