| 1. | Modeled vertical profile and turbulent flux of virtual potential temperature.
|
| 2. | Under normal, stably stratified conditions, the potential temperature increases with height,
|
| 3. | Potential temperature is a useful measure of the static stability of the unsaturated atmosphere.
|
| 4. | The virtual potential temperature flux is given by
|
| 5. | With w'and \ theta _ v'perturbations of vertical velocity and virtual potential temperature, respectively.
|
| 6. | Almost all wind shear and all the potential temperature gradient in the CBL are confined in the surface layer.
|
| 7. | In the mesoscale, equivalent potential temperature is also a useful measure of the static stability of the unsaturated atmosphere.
|
| 8. | Situations in which the equivalent potential temperature decreases with height, indicating instability in saturated air, are quite common.
|
| 9. | Potential temperature, wind speed has a sharp increase across the capping inversion, while moisture has a sharp decrease.
|
| 10. | Observations show that turbulent mixing accounts for 50 % of the total variation of potential temperature in a typical CBL.
