This research highlights the complex balance between buoyancy and shear forces in driving turbulence and waves, providing a more nuanced understanding of boundary layer dynamics[3][4].

There is a layer of air from the ground up to a few hundred feet called the planetary boundary layer. The boundary layer is the lowest layer of the atmosphere and is heated by the convection of ...

Her research group explores the dynamics of the atmospheric boundary layer, with applications to wind energy, urban meteorology, and surface-atmosphere interaction. They employ numerical weather ...

Exchange Processes between the Surface and the Atmospheric Boundary Layer. The exchange of energy, gases, and aerosol particles between the surface (vegetation, urban landscape) is mostly driven by ...

F luorescence lidar technology enables a better determination of the origin of particles in the atmosphere. The method can also visualize particle layers that were previously practically invisible ...

Light-absorbing brown carbon aerosols, emitted by wildfires, remain longer in the atmosphere than expected, which could have implications for climate predictions. Rising 2,225 meters into the air ...

ADELPHI, Md. -- Army researchers have designed a computer model that more effectively calculates the behavior of atmospheric turbulence in complex environments, including cities, forests, deserts ...

The study of the processes that lead to the formation, growth, and precipitation of clouds in the boundary layer of the lower atmosphere. A department of UC San Diego, Scripps Institution of ...

ICON will orbit Earth at a 27-degree inclination and at an altitude of some 360 miles -- a position that will allow its instruments to continuously image the atmosphere-space boundary, from ...

Researchers at what is the world’s most remote research station use it to probe our atmosphere’s boundary layer, which extends from the ground to around 1 kilometre up. Advertisement.

Fluorescence lidar technology enables a better determination of the origin of particles in the atmosphere. The method can also visualize particle layers that were previously practically invisible.
