Abstract
Circulations within atmospheric boundary layers (BLs) are largely responsible for transporting moisture, heat, momentum, particles, and other atmospheric constituents vertically between the surface and the free atmosphere. In BLs heated from below, several scales of convection are commonly observed. This article describes several types of analyses that examine how vertical transport within the BL is affected by the rolls, core regions and cores. The influence of rolls and convection along them on atmospheric overtuning rates are examined using dual-Doppler-derived vertical motions at mid-levels in the BL on four dates. The influence of rolls and cores on moisture fluxes are explored on two separate dates using aircraft and radar observations. Finally, the radar effective reflectivity factor evolution of 53 core regions on one data is given.
