CLIMATE ROLES OF NON-SEA SALT SULFATE AND SEA SPRAY AEROSOL IN THE ATMOSPHERIC MARINE BOUNDARY LAYER: HIGHLIGHTS OF 40 YEARS OF PMEL RESEARCH ...

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 ...

Growing focus on renewable energy prompted the Center for Hydro- and Aerodynamics (CHA) to modernize a small wind tunnel with an open test section. This study builds on prior work confirming the ...

New research has unraveled the complex dynamics of the planetary boundary layer, enhancing satellite detection of atmospheric pollutants and aiding environmental management and climate modeling ...

A project led by the University of Washington to better understand our atmosphere’s complexity is a finalist for NASA’s next generation of Earth-observing satellites. STRIVE will ...

Meteorologist Kylee Miller explains the different layers in the atmosphere in this Science of Weather segment.

In an experiment on how turbulent boundary layers respond to acceleration in the flow around them, aerospace engineers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign observed an unexpected ...

The National Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel is a multi-purpose facility with an 18m long test section, suitable for fundamental wall-bounded turbulence research, low-drag surfaces, air quality research, ...
