4.b.i. Turbulent diffusion coefficient

Figure 12b: Diurnal change of the vertical profile of horizontal mean turbulent diffusion coefficient of the dusty case below the height of 1 km. Profiles are for every 2 hours from LT = 8:00 to 18:00 of the sixth day. Number on each line indicates local time.


Figure 12b shows the diurnal variation of the vertical profile of horizontal mean turbulent diffusion coefficient below 1 km height. The magnitude of horizontal mean turbulent diffusion coefficient is roughly equal to that of the dust-free case (Figure 3b)
