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 heat ...

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 ...

The planetary boundary layer (PBL) is also known as the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). It is the lowest part of the atmosphere and its behavior is directly influenced by its contact with the ground ...

The stable atmospheric boundary layer (SBL) is a critical component of the Earth’s atmospheric system, characterised by subdued turbulence and a pronounced stratification that suppresses vertical ...

ABSTRACT.The domes, or local elevation maxima, on the Antarctic plateau provide a unique opportunity for ground-based astronomy in that the turbulent boundary layer is so thin that a telescope on a ...

The study of the processes that lead to the formation, growth, and precipitation of clouds in the boundary layer of the lower atmosphere. Develops models and analyzes observations to understand the ...

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 and ...
