In our new publication we show that Kader and Yaglom 1990 were indeed right to predict that the non-dimensional wind shear increases with increasing instability. This becomes very clear when anisotropy is taken into account thus ending the decades old debate.
How many sleepless nights did you spend wondering which M-O scaling curve is the correct one in convective conditions and whether anisotropy can explain scatter in flux-gradient relations? The answer is here https://t.co/SGEPKXGUTI #ERCUnicorn@ERC_Research@uibk_climate
The measurement suite is unprecedented: 10 turbulence towers with multiple levels, UAVs, lidar measurements, IR screen images. A huge shout to @LindseyNicholson from @uniinnsbruck who brought together 9 PI and numerous students+helpers, and masterfully organized the campaign.
Celebrating the amazing #JohnFinnigan. It was such a wonderful event at @NCAR_Science with an inspiring group of scientists discussing the history and new horizons of environmental fluid mechanics, forging new collaborations and attacking new challenges.
A great week in St. Gallen at International Conference on Alpine Meteorology presenting #ERCUnicorn results, seeing newest in mountain meteorology, meeting colleagues and friends from around the world. Going to #ICAM2023 always feels like coming home.@AMSMountain@ProfessorPowder
On a crevasse rescue course: #ERCUnicorn team getting reading for this summers #HEFEX2 campaign on Hintereisferner glacier in Austria, studying stratified #turbulence over glaciers. #EUfunded
Great to have had Prof. Ivana Stiperski @ivyintheclouds, from ACINN, @uniinnsbruck visiting @UniRdg_Met last week, funded by a @royalsociety International Exchanges Grant. Thanks for an inspiring seminar on the state of surface layer #turbulence theory over mountainous terrain.
Your future airline flights might be bumpier due to climate change. Fasten your seat belts as NASA Climate explains how, along with some other perhaps surprising ways climate change is affecting transportation: https://t.co/rZaQOz9Fiz
There are so many gender problems with AIs. Here is a simple example. I asked it to create two things:
- a CEO working on board a space ship
- a secretary working on board a space ship
Not surprisingly, it made the CEO male, and the secretary female.
