Scientific paper

The vertical structure of the Arctic planetary boundary layer was investigated. This boundary layer includes an extensive field of stratus clouds in its upper part. The profiles of the mean meteorological variables, and the vertical turbulent mixing processes, controlled by the turbulent kinetic energy were analyzed. The results of aircraft measurements as well as of numerical simulations by a one-dimensional turbulence model are compared. The radiative cooling at cloud top is identified to be the dominant process controlling the whole turbulence structure for the case of quasi-stationarity.
