Countergradient Momentum Transport in Clear Convective Atmospheric Boundary Layers

Abstract The vertical profiles of the wind speed and direction in atmospheric boundary layers are strongly controlled by turbulence. Most global weather forecast and climate models parameterize the vertical transport of horizontal momentum by turbulent eddies by means of a downgradient eddy diffusio...
