An examination of structure and parameterization of turbulence in the stably-stratified atmospheric boundary layer

The very stable boundary layer is a region of the atmosphere typified by large vertical gradients of temperature and momentum. Analysis of very stable atmospheric flows is complicated by the presence of nonlinear interactions among gravity waves, shear-driven overturning circulations, two-dimensiona...
