  27. 3-27 CLASSIFICATION OF CLEAR PBLs Neutral -10 -3 0 2 Coherent structures visualized in a neutral flat wall boundary layer in a wind tunnel. Entrainment hummocks in an x-z plane. Low-speed streaks in an x-y plane.

  28. Horizontal (x-y) slice of vertical velocity at z = 25m from an LES of a PBL driven by large scale forcing from the mesoscale code COAMPS. Atmospheric stability zi/L varies from strongly unstable to near neutral over the course of the 8 hour simulation. This changes the dominant coherent structure in the PBL from a hexagon to a streaky pattern. 3-28
