A Parametric Model of Vertical Eddy Fluxes in the Atmosphere Diffusion and compensating subsidence as limiting cases of a single flux parameterization Dimensional Analysis, Scale Analysis, and Similarity Theories The Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory Prime Prime Bar: Fifty Years of Fluxes Virtual Temperature and Virtual Temperature Fluxes Turbulent Fluxes of Liquid Water and Buoyancy in Partly Cloudy Layers Frictional Dissipation in a Precipitating Atmosphere Eastward-Propagating Intraseasonal Oscillation Represented by Chikira–Sugiyama Cumulus Parameterization. Part II: Understanding Moisture Variation under Weak Temperature Gradient Balance Why do GCMs have trouble with the MJO? The Grey Zone   The above image was created by Prabat of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's visualization group using VisIT. The data is output from a Randall group model and is a pseudocolor plot of land cover on the geodesic grid and 3D isocontours of vorticity.
