Classical ViewTurbulent boundary layers consist of random eddies (Kolmogorov 1941)
Small eddies produce the shear stress and transportheat, scalars and momentum, therefore - “active”
(Townsend 1961)
Large eddies do not produce the shear stress and do not transport heat, scalar and momentum, therefore - “inactive”
(Townsand 1961)

Turbulence in PBLs
Real world turbulence is different:● Rough surface● Large scales● Stratification● Rotation

Turbulent Stress
Turbulent stress decreases
with the eddy size
Critical eddy size
Turbulent stress does not change
with the eddy size

What determines the size of large eddies?

Coherent Structures in Sheared Flow
Typical size ofthe first characteristic eddy
is close to the critical eddy size for the stress fall-off.

ConclusionsTurbulent planetary boundary layer consists of large eddies
Large eddies exert the most of the shear stress and transport the most of heat, scalar and momentum
Large eddies are limited by (I) the PBL depth, which is the most important factor in real PBLs
and (II) the characteristic size of coherent eddies
Small eddies produce little shear stress and relate to large eddies
