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 ...

The goal in any wind tunnel is to have the thinnest possible boundary layer to best replicate a car moving over the road. From the June 2014 Issue of Car and Driver Watch Next ...

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 ...

It is in this “surface layer” region that wind turbines operate in the atmospheric boundary layer. I will present key new knowledge extracted from high-fidelity large-eddy simulations by Jarred ...

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 ...

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 Pico Observatory rises above the first layer of clouds in the troposphere, known as the atmospheric marine boundary layer. At that boundary the temperature drops rapidly, and relatively high ...

A team of scientists, including several from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), has determined that human-related emissions are largely responsible for an increase in the height ...

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 ...

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 ...
