| 190 | | This visualization shows the turbulent structure parameter C,,T,,^2^ in the surface layer of a convectively driven boundary layer. Dark colors match to high values up to 0.01, whereas white colors represent lower values down to 0.001. All values which are out of range are set to transparent. Shown is the last half an hour of the simulation. The movie shows, that C,,T,,^2^ is high near the surface, decreasing with height. High values, in comparison with their horizontal environment can be observed in regions where warm air rises upward (plumes). These regions organize in hexagonal cells, which can also be seen in this sequence. |
