• Flux–gradient relationship, self‐correlation and intermittency in the stable boundary layer (2004, methodology): “…intermittency to external forcings such as gravity waves (Finnigan and Einaudi 1981), density currents (Soler et al. 2002), low-level jets (Banta et al. 2002), or other mesoscale phenomena (Sun et al. 2002), others to interactions between the turbulence and local mean gradients (Derbyshire 1999).”
• Turbulent Velocity-Variance Profiles in the Stable Boundary Layer Generated by a Nocturnal Low-Level Jet (2006, background): “Aircraft slant-path profiles at dawn and dusk over Oklahoma also revealed traditional structure to the SBL (Lenschow et al. 1988; Sorbjan 1988 ).”
• Relationship between Low-Level Jet Properties and Turbulence Kinetic Energy in the Nocturnal Stable Boundary Layer (2003, methodology): “The only other night excluded here was that of 17–18 October (Julian night 291, UTC), when the significant turbulence episodes were caused by density currents and solitary waves (Sun et al. 2002, 2003) rather than LLJ-generated shear, and thus do not apply to our analysis.”
• Stable-boundary-layer regimes from the perspective of the low-level jet (2008, methodology): “…al. 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007), atmospheric waves (Blumen et al. 2001, Newsom and Banta 2003, Fritts et al. 2003, Sun et al. 2004), density currents (Sun et al. 2002), late-afternoon near-neutral boundary-layer structure (Drobinski et al. 2004, 2007), and as a dataset for demonstrating…”
