1980 Status Report On Low-Level, Atmospheric Turbulence Model for Marine Environments.

Abstract

This report details the most recent developments to ARAP's program for computing the detailed low-level atmospheric distribution of velocity, temperature, moisture, refractive index, and the turbulent variances of these quantities. Model modifications discussed include the incorporation of an anisotropic length scale and the investigation into the continuation of a simpler integral model. Model calculations show the improved predictions of horizontal turbulent variances made possible by the anisotropic scale formulation, and provide for comparisons with the results of NEPRF's model calculations.
