On the Size of Dominant Momentum Transporting Eddies in Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layers

Abstract The size of dominant momentum transporting eddies Lmt in stable atmospheric boundary layers is poorly understood. This study demonstrates that the distance to the ground z is relevant in constraining Lmt in weakly stable conditions (0<ζ<0.6, where ζ is the stability parameter) and les...
