Buoyancy subrange
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004086
A specific range of eddy sizes within a turbulent flow where buoyancy forces significantly influence the transfer of energy, particularly in stably stratified conditions. In this subrange, the kinetic energy of eddies is primarily converted into potential energy against the buoyancy force. This concept is relevant to understanding turbulence in the stable atmospheric boundary layer.
