Investigation of organized large eddies and associated turbulence transport channels: an airborne Doppler wind lidar perspective
Abstract
Funds are provided to continue to investigate the existence and structure of Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer (MABL) features such as stacked Organized Large Eddies and Turbulence Transfer Channels (TTC). The PI will analyze new and recent data gathered during ONR-supported Twin Otter Doppler Wind Lidar (TODWL) missions off the coast of Monterey, CA in September 2018, as well as conduct further analysis of past datasets of TODWL data archived between 2002 and 2012 (mainly April and November 2007). The main goal of this research is analyze the TODWL data to document, characterize and describe the features such as OLEs and TTC and expressing their existence and occurrence in PDF (Probability Density Form). He will investigate the importance of such structures as input and parameterizations into boundary layer and EM propagation models, and will share our findings with NRL Marine Meteorology Division and the relevant scientific communities.
