Weather, climate and hydrometeorology forecasts require accurate surface-atmosphere coupled modeling, but arbitrary reference heights have been used in computing surface turbulent fluxes. A team of ...

Improved observations of the atmospheric boundary layer (BL) and its interactions with the ocean, land, and ice surfaces have great potential to advance science on a number of fronts, from improving ...

Weather, climate and hydrometeorology forecasts require accurate surface–atmosphere coupled modeling. This requires the use of proper coupling heights in computing surface turbulent fluxes, or the ...

A lthough the troposphere is often thought of as the closest layer of the atmosphere to the Earth's surface, the planetary boundary layer (PBL)—the lowest layer of the troposphere—is actually ...

With a wave generator, blowers, light tubes, and heating and cooling systems — and Pacific Ocean seawater from nearby Scripps Pier — the instrument can emulate ocean surface conditions ... role the ...

Emerging evidence points to the layer above as an important influence on surface winds and temperatures on seasonal to decadal timescales. The traditional view of the atmosphere holds that the ...

This includes droughts, flash droughts, flash floods, and pluvial periods, along with the evolution of the planetary boundary layer, surface-atmosphere exchange, urban-atmosphere interactions, and ...
