Non-stationary boundary layers

L Mahrt, E Bou-Zeid - Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 2020 - Springer
The literature includes a wide variety of definitions or perceptions of non-stationarity. Non-
stationarity can be expressed in terms of turbulence statistics or variability of the forcing of …

C Lan, H Liu, GG Katul, D Li… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
In very stable boundary layers (VSBL), a “cocktail” of submeso motions routinely result in
elevated mean wind speed maxima above the ground, acting as a new source of turbulence …

Multiscale shear forcing of turbulence in the nocturnal boundary layer: a statistical analysis

V Boyko, N Vercauteren - Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 2021 - Springer
The lower nocturnal boundary layer is governed by intermittent turbulence which is thought
to be triggered by sporadic activity of so-called sub-mesoscale motions in a complex way …
