Theoretical Explanation of Spectral Slopes in Stratospheric Turbulence Data and Implications for Vertical Transport.
Abstract
This paper is motivated by the requirement to improve understanding of vertical motion of pollutants in the stratosphere. One method to estimate vertical transport due to the effects of turbulence is by means of the effective diffusivity coefficient. To calculate this parameter, it is often necessary to know the value of epsilon, the rate of turbulent dissipation. This parameter, epsilon, is also important to know in the context of the global numerical stratospheric simulation models now being created for environmental assessment purposes.
