Abstract

We examine the kinetic energy that may be generated from surface heating. Cumulonimbus, cumulus, mesoscale and large‐scale conversion of potential into kinetic energy can be identified in an idealized way, as distinct processes. Each has a characteristic thermodynamic efficiency.

## Abstract In this article, we examine the stochastic characteristics of non‐turbulent motions in the stable boundary layer. The behaviour of mesoscale motions in the atmospheric stable boundary layer is poorly understood beyond case studies of unusually well‐defined events or monotonic waves. Eig

The structure of the nocturnal boundary layer affected by an advected fog mass is investigated. For this, measurements of the horizontal wind vector, the temperature, relative humidity and horizontal visibility performed on a radio mast 300 m high are used together with a monostatic SODAR recording.
