• The Critical Richardson Number and Limits of Applicability of Local Similarity Theory in the Stable Boundary Layer (2012, background): “Up to now, the transition from turbulent to laminar flow and vice versa remains an enigma (see Galperin et al. 2007, for discussion).”
• Turbulence Regimes and Turbulence Intermittency in the Stable Boundary Layer during CASES-99 (2012, unknown): “Recent investigation demonstrates that the universal critical Richardson number varies between flows (e.g., Canuto 2002) or may not exist at all (e.g., Galperin et al. 2007; Zilitinkevich et al. 2007; Mahrt 2010b).”
• Turbulence energetics in stably stratified geophysical flows: Strong and weak mixing regimes (2008, methodology): “Experimental LES and DNS data summarised in our figures, and other evidence from modern literature (e.g. Galperin et al., 2007; Mauritsen et al., 2007; Zilitinkevich et al., 2007; Canuto et al., 2008) demonstrate general existence of turbulence at very large Ri, up to Ri > 102, exceeding its…”
• Stably Stratified Atmospheric Boundary Layers (2014, background): “The maintenance of turbulence at large Richardson numbers and the lack of a critical Richardson number have been discussed in detail by Galperin et al. (2007) and Sukorianski & Galperin (2013).”
• Exchange Processes in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer Over Mountainous Terrain (2018, background): “Recent advancements in parameterizing the SBL followed from recognizing that the onset of turbulence is not associated with a unique critical value of the Richardson number [204] and that the Prandtl number is stability-dependent [205].”
• THE MARTIAN ATMOSPHERIC BOUNDARY LAYER (2011, background): “One of the important advantages of the QNSE model is the absence of the critical Richardson number, Ricr [Sukoriansky et al., 2005b; Galperin et al., 2007].”
• The Minimum Wind Speed for Sustainable Turbulence in the Nocturnal Boundary Layer (2012, background): “(5) does not seem to exist in real geophysical flows (Galperin et al. 2007).”
