tion models, in spite of some advances, the boundary layer is still not represented realistically. Figure 1 illustrates an aspect of this problem by showing the opposing response of boundary layer (low) clouds to perturbation experiments (e.g., double CO2) in current climate models. The general problem of parameterization in fluids dates back to the first modern studies of turbulence during the...

[1] Boundary layer turbulence plays a central role in determining the strength of the overall atmospheric circulation by affecting the intensity of exchange of heat, mass, and momentum at the Earth’s surface. It is often parameterized using the bulk formula, in which the vonKarman parameter plays a critical role. Here we conducted a range of sensitivity simulations with an atmospheric general c...

The atmospheric boundary layer is distinguished from the rest of atmosphere due to its unique characteristics, i [...]

one of the popular and well known models in boundary layer that is implemented in most of the operational and familiar models is the mellor-yamada model of atmospheric boundary layer. one reason that this model is so popular is its ability in simulations and exposing of different phenomena in the boundary layer. this model has been constructed based on second order closure hypothesis. beside al...
