On a numerical model for extracting TKE dissipation rate from very high frequency (VHF) radar spectral width

Abstract The standard model (e.g., Hocking in Earth Planets Space 51:525–541, 1999), $$\varepsilon = c_{0} \sigma^{2} N$$ ε=c0σ2N , (where $$\sigma$$ σ is the radar spectral width assumed to be equal to vertical turbulence velocity fluctuation $$\sqrt {\overline{{w^{2} }} }$$ w2¯ , N is the buoyancy...
