Boundary Layer and Turbulence

1
Boundary Layer and Turbulence

• Energy and mass exchange at PBL interfaces
  air-land (hydrology,ecology, chemistry), air-sea
  (high wind,drag coefficient, aerosol, ocean
  state), entrainment zone, over complex terrain
  and heterogeneous surfaces, clouds
• Improvement of traditional measurement under dry
  and wet conditions p (TKE,canopy), fast H2O,
  fluxes
• Stably stratified PBL, PBL depth, transition
  periods, flux profiles, weak turbulence
• Scale up in space and time (climate change and
  environment monitoring)

2
Boundary Layer and Turbulence

• Improved model parameterization of subgrid scale
  processes, volume average, mesoscale fluxes
• Facilities UAV, Drone, remote sensing (scanning,
  Doppler, aerosol lidar), non-NSF facilities,
  expertise to design long-term measurements, data
  managements, lab, numerical flow modeling to
  characterize flow distortion
