Diurnal variability of the marine boundary layer during ASTEX

The diurnal cycle of the marine boundary layer over the Atlantic Stratgocumulus Transition Experiment (AS-TEX) domain is examined during a two-week period of June 1992 in several fields, including: fractional low cloudiness, various parameters taht enter into the heat and moisture budgets (e.g., tem...

Summary:The diurnal cycle of the marine boundary layer over the Atlantic Stratgocumulus Transition Experiment (AS-TEX) domain is examined during a two-week period of June 1992 in several fields, including: fractional low cloudiness, various parameters taht enter into the heat and moisture budgets (e.g., temperature, water vapor mixing ration, vertical motion), the budgets themselves, radiative heating, and the vertical eddy flux of moist static energy.
