Top-Down and Bottom-Up Diffusion of a Scalar in the Convective Boundary Layer

J. C. Wyngaard , Richard A. Brost

The vertical diffusion of a passive conservative scalar through the convective PBL is actually the superposition of what we call “top-down” and “bottom up” processes. These comp...

Quasi-Steady Analysis of a PBL Model with an Eddy-Diffusivity Profile and Nonlocal Fluxes

Björn Stevens

Analytic solutions to a planetary boundary layer (PBL) model with an eddy-diffusivity profile (i.e., a K profile) and nonlocal fluxes are presented for the quasi-steady regime.T...
