- W4386545947 abstract "<strong class=journal-contentHeaderColor>Abstract.</strong> The potential ability of VHF or UHF Doppler radars to measure Turbulence Kinetic Energy (TKE) dissipation rate ε in the atmosphere is a major asset of these instruments, because of the possibility of continuous monitoring of turbulence in the atmospheric column above the radars. Several models have been proposed over past decades to relate ε to the half width σ of the Doppler spectrum peak, corrected for non-turbulent contributions, but their relevance remains unclear. Recently, Luce et al. (2023) tested the performance of a new model expected to be valid for weakly stratified or strongly sheared conditions, i.e. for low Richardson (Ri) numbers. Its simplest expression is <em>ε<sub>S </sub>= C<sub>S</sub> σ<sup>2</sup> S </em>where <em>C<sub>S</sub> </em>~ 0.64 and <em>S </em>=|<i>d</i><i>V</i><span style=position: relative; top: -.5em; left: -.65em;>â</span><i style= margin-left:-.7em></i>/<i>dz</i>| is the vertical shear of the horizontal wind <i>V</i><span style=position: relative; top: -.5em; left: -.65em;>â</span><i style= margin-left:-.7em></i>. We assessed the relevance of this model with a UHF (1.357 GHz) wind profiler called WPR LQ-7, which is routinely operated at Shigaraki Middle and Upper Atmosphere (MU) observatory (34.85° N, 136.10° E) in Japan. For this purpose, we selected turbulence events associated with Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) billows, because their formation necessarily requires <em>Ri </em>< 0.25 somewhere in the flow, a condition <em>a priori </em>favorable to the application of the model. Eleven years of WPR LQ-7 data were used for this objective. The assessment of ε<em><sub>S</sub></em> was first based on its consistency with an empirical model ε<em><sub>L<sub>out</sub></sub></em>= σ<sup>3 </sup>/ <i>L</i><sub><em>out</em></sub> that was found to compare well in a KH layer with direct estimates of ε from in-situ measurements for <i>L</i><sub><em>out </em></sub>≈ 70 <em>m</em>. Some degree of equivalence between ε<em><sub>S</sub></em> and ε<sub><em>L<sub>out</sub></em></sub> was confirmed by statistical analysis of 192 KH layers found in the height range [0.3–5.0] km indicating that <i>L</i><sub><em>out</em></sub> ≈ <i>L</i><sub><em>H </em></sub>/ 0.64 where <i>L</i><sub><em>H </em></sub>= σ / <i>S</i> is the Hunt scale defined for neutral turbulence. The degree of equivalence is even significantly improved if <i>L</i><sub><em>out</em></sub> is not treated as a constant but depends on the depth<em> D</em> of the layer. We found <i>L</i><sub><em>out</em></sub> ≈ 0.0875 <em>D</em> or equivalently <i>L</i><sub><em>out</em></sub> ~ 0.056 <em>D</em> which also means that σ is proportional to the apparent variation of the horizontal velocity (<em>S</em> × <em>D</em>) over the depth of the KH layer. Consequently, ε<sub><em>S </em></sub>= 0.64 σ<sup>2</sup> <em>S</em> and ε<em><sub>L<sub>out</sub></sub></em><sub> </sub>= σ<sup>3 </sup>/ 0.0875 <em>D</em> would express the same model for KH layers when <em>Ri </em>remains small. For such a condition, we provide a physical interpretation of <i>L</i><sub><em>out</em></sub>, which would be qualitatively identical to that for neutral boundary layers." @default.
