| Zusammenfassung |
| The focus of this paper is to analyze the behaviour of the maximum Thorpe displacement (dT)max and the
Thorpe scale LT at the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), extending previous research with new data and improving
our studies related to the novel use of the Thorpe method applied to ABL. The maximum Thorpe displacements varies between −900
and 950 m for the different field campaigns. The Thorpe scale LT ranges between 0.2 and 680 m for
the different data sets which cover different stratified mixing conditions (turbulence sher-driven and convective regions). We
analyze the relation between dT)max and the Thorpe scale LT and we deduce that they
verify a power law. We also deduce that there is a difference in exponents of the power laws for convective conditions and
shear-driven conditions. This different power laws could identify overturns created under different mechanisms. |
