Vertical diffusion in ERA-40 Vertical diffusion in ERA-40 Dirk Olivié 12 November 2003
Overview • Vertical Diffusion • Louis, Holtslag, ECMW6h • Kz –profile • Radon distribution • Comparison with measurements • Ecmwf3h, Ecmwf6h • Radon distribution • Comparison with measurements
What it’s all about … Kz : diffusion coefficient [m2s-1] C : tracer concentration
Louis – Holtslag – ECMWF6h • Kz profile • Global Radon distribution • Comparison with Radon measurement • daily cycle • correlation
Kz : mean profile August 1993 Global mean Over land Louis Holtslag Ecmwf-6h
