Vertical transports by plumes within the moderately convective marine atmospheric surface layer

Mason et al study bursts in the kinematic vertical transports of heat and horizontal momentum in a moderately convective marine atmospheric surface layer. With proper use of principal components analysis, surface-layer plumes can be reassembled in a way that yields the same transport relationships n...

Zusammenfassung:	Mason et al study bursts in the kinematic vertical transports of heat and horizontal momentum in a moderately convective marine atmospheric surface layer. With proper use of principal components analysis, surface-layer plumes can be reassembled in a way that yields the same transport relationships no matter what variable is used.
