Stochastic modeling of transient neutral and stably‐stratified Ekman boundary layers

Abstract: Neutral and stably‐stratified Ekman boundary layers (EBLs) are numerically investigated with a stochastic one‐dimensional turbulence (ODT) model. EBLs achieve the bulk‐surface coupling in Earth's atmosphere. They are numerically challenging due to transient and non‐universal turbulence properties even at small scales. ODT addresses this problem by distinguishing turbulent‐advective from molecular‐diffusive transport processes for a vertical column along which all relevant scales of the flow are resolved. We demonstrate the model's capabilities for economical, accurate, and stratification regime independent simulation of EBLs for the wind‐turning angle. ODT reproduces and extrapolates reference direct numerical simulation results consistent with observations. We conclude that ODT may be useful for modeling of atmospheric surface layers.
