DOI: 10.1002/qj.3939
Abstract: Oscillations in wind speed and temperature are commonly observed in the atmospheric surface layer due to the ubiquitous presence of submeso‐scale motions (SSMs). These motions are of particular importance during stable and low‐wind conditions as… read more here.

Unlikely existence of kx−1 spectral law in wall turbulence: An observation of the atmospheric surface layer

DOI: 10.1063/1.5063545
Abstract: For wall turbulence, a range of streamwise wavenumbers kx has been predicted such that the spectral density of streamwise velocity fluctuations is proportional to kx−1. The existence or nonexistence of this kx−1 law is examined… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jcli-d-16-0860.1
Abstract: AbstractEast Asia has some of the largest concentrations of absorbing aerosols globally, and these, along with the region’s scattering aerosols, have both reduced the amount of solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface regionally (solar dimming) and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jcli-d-17-0848.1
Abstract: Planetary albedo (PA; shortwave broadband albedo) and its long-term variations, which are controlled in a complex way by various atmospheric and surface properties, play a key role in controlling the global and regional energy budget.… read more here.
