Impact of Planetary Boundary Layer Processes on Frontogenesis

Abstract

Several analytical and numerical studies of the processes by which frontogenesis occurs have been performed. However, some important questions regarding frontogenesis remain unanswered. One of the most fundamental of these concerns the impact of planetary boundary layer (PBL) physics on the evolution of fronts. Keywords: Reprints; Higher order closure; Boundary layer.
