Investigation of the Representation of OLEs and Terrain Effects Within the Costal Zone in the EDMF Parameterization Scheme: An Airborne Doppler Wind Lidar Perspective

Abstract

More than 50 hours of TODWL data from both the Monterey and DPG areas has been processed. We are continuing efforts to combine the information from the TODWL, CTV and Twin Otter sensors to establish the relationship between the local fluxes and the energetics of LLJs and OLEs, Effort has also continued on modifying the EDMF parameterization to account for the differences between thermally driven convection and dynamically driven vertical transports. We continue to modify the EDMF parameterization to account for the differences between thermally driven convection and dynamically driven vertical transports.
