Moisture features of the convective boundary layer in Oklahoma
Data from an instrumented 461m tower and rawinsonde balloons are analysed to determine the characteristics of the moisture field in the planetary boundary layer over central Oklahoma. In the mean, the lowest 94% of the sensibly adiabatic layer exhibits an effectively constant mixing ratio. Inference...

Zusammenfassung: | Data from an instrumented 461m tower and rawinsonde balloons are analysed to determine the characteristics of the moisture field in the planetary boundary layer over central Oklahoma. In the mean, the lowest 94% of the sensibly adiabatic layer exhibits an effectively constant mixing ratio. Inferences as to the effectiveness of downward mixing through the top of the boundary layer are drawn. |
