Three-dimensional conditional structure of a high-Reynolds-number turbulent boundary layer (2011, background): “Measurements within the atmospheric surface layer have also revealed the presence of surprisingly large elongated features (Young et al. 2002; Drobinski et al. 2004).”
Convectively Induced Secondary Circulations in Fine-Grid Mesoscale Numerical Weather Prediction Models (2014, background): “Numerous field programs provide evidence for 2D horizontal roll vortices or 3D cellular structure in the daytime fair-weather boundary layer (LeMone 1973; Weckwerth et al. 1997, 1999; Young et al. 2002; Miao and Chen 2008; LeMone et al. 2010; Xue and Martin 2006).”
Evidence of very long meandering features in the logarithmic region of turbulent boundary layers (2007, background): “Large streak-like features have also been noted in the atmospheric surface layer, both in experiments and LES studies (Drobinski et al. 2004; Young et al. 2002) and have been referred to by Phillips (2003) as atmospheric Langmuir circulations (ALC), implying a formation mechanism similar to roll-cel”
Towards Reconciling the Large-Scale Structure of Turbulent Boundary Layers in the Atmosphere and Laboratory (2012, background): “…region of the layer and as such should only be compared with the structure occurring within the neutrally buoyant ASL (i.e. the first category of events listed in Young et al. (2002)), where the turbulence is shear-driven and where one would expect an approximately logarithmic velocity profile.”
On the Nature of the Transition Between Roll and Cellular Organization in the Convective Boundary Layer (2017, background): “…heat fluxes, convective updrafts tend to organize into horizontal convective rolls, quasi-two-dimensional structures (e.g. Atkinson and Zhang 1996; Young et al. 2002) typically angled 10–20◦ left of the geostrophic wind direction in the Northern Hemisphere (LeMone 1973; Brown 1980); however, when…”
