WELL-MIXED LAYER [4 records]

Record 1 1999-06-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics
  • Atmospheric, Climatic and Meteorological Phenomena
CONT

... the Friehe-Grossman Method... depends upon the accurate calibration and operation of the thermoelectric dewpoint instrument on the aircraft. The method requires that each level leg be independently calibrated. The calibration coefficients are checked for altitude(pressure and/or temperature) dependence. In the case of both IFC-1 and-5 the calibration coefficients were averaged for all legs in the well-mixed layer for a given mission since little altitude dependence was noted for the slope of the calibration curve(which is important to the estimation of the moisture flux).

CONT

Une des caractéristiques du climat de l'océan Indien est la mousson. Ce phénomène s'accompagne d'une convection importante, qui présente une forte variabilité à courte échelle de temps (de l'ordre de la journée). Ces variations conditionnent, dans une large mesure, la distribution des variables climatiques tropicales, telles que les précipitations, les flux d'humidité et d'énergie, les vents.

CONT

A well developed circulation can penetrate as far as 50 km inland. During sea breeze situations an interesting air pollution problem arises. This will be illustrated using the north shore of Lake Ontario as an example. Several thermal generating stations are opened near the coast. During a sea breeze situation..., their emissions are adverted inland relatively undispersed in stable air. Eventually the well-mixed layer whose thickness increases inland intercepts the plume and brings it to the ground. The result is stationary fumigation which persists much longer than the event-type of fumigation that occurs in late morning during the breakup of a nocturnal inversion.
