The verification of whether small-scale turbulence is isotropic remains a grand challenge.
The difficulty arises because the presence of small-scale anisotropy is tied to the dissipation …

The influence of coherent vortices on the turbulence structure above and below a dense
plant canopy is investigated using turbulence measurements collected at five levels on top …

The structure of atmospheric turbulence is analyzed based on the existence of three different
night-time turbulent regimes observed in the Amazon forest, classified according to Sun's …

Semi-arid forests are found to sustain a massive sensible heat flux in spite of having a low
surface to air temperature difference by lowering the aerodynamic resistance to heat transfer …

On the basis of measurements over different surfaces, an inertial sublayer (ISL), where
Monin‐Obukhov Similarity Theory applies, exists above z= 3 h, where h is canopy height …

Atmospheric turbulence characteristics within and above rain forest canopies are
investigated at several sites located in the Amazon region of Brazil. Turbulence data …

The role of secondary circulations has recently been studied in the context of well-defined
surface heterogeneity in a semiarid ecosystem where it was found that energy balance …

We investigate the intermittent dynamics of momentum transport and its underlying time
scales in the near-wall region of the neutrally stratified atmospheric boundary layer in the …

Observational meteorological data from the field experiment GoAmazon 2014/15 and data
from numerical simulations with the cloud-resolving model (CRM) called the System for …

The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is a highly turbulent geophysical flow, which has
chaotic and often too complex dynamics to unravel from limited data. Characterizing …
