Boundary Layer Wind Maxima and Their Significance for the Growth of Nocturnal Inversions
Open accessAbstract
A sharp maximum is frequently observed at night in the wind speed profile below 3000 ft. The wind speed maximum is usually at the top of the nocturnal inversion, is supergeostrophic, and is often associated with extremely large values of wind shear at low levels. It is shown that the characteristic velocity profile tends to promote an orderly growth of the nocturnal inversion. The supergeostrophic wind speeds suggest that an inertia oscillation is induced when the constraint imposed by the daytime mixing is released by the initiation of an inversion at about the time of sunset.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
