Potential‐temperature variance budget in a saturated coastal‐fog environment
Francesco Barbano,

Abstract:In this work, we explore the intricacies of the potential‐temperature variance budget in coastal fog. We propose an improvement to the theoretical framework of the budget, whereby we include the heat exchange due to water‐phase changes. We then show this framework's consistency with a real‐world case study from the Coastal Fog (C‐FOG) Research Program. Results show that the presence of intermittent energy bursts is driven by the sudden turbulent injection of heat into the environment caused by the condensation… Show more
