Generation of internal gravity waves by a katabatic wind in an idealized alpine valley
Chemel, C.; Staquet, C.; Largeron, Y. (2009)The dynamics of the atmospheric boundary layer in an alpine valley at night or in winter is dominated by katabatic (or down-slope) flows. As predicted by McNider (1982) oscillations along the slope are expected to occur ... -
Turbulent mixing in a katabatic wind under stable conditions
Largeron, Y.; Staquet, C.; Chemel, C. (2010)The purpose of this paper is to analyze the mixing properties of the katabatic flow which develops at night or in winter on the slopes of a valley. An idealized topography is considered, the initial Brunt-Väisälä frequency ...
