Marine Boundary Layer Physics

Abstract

Enhance understanding of coastal meteorology on the mesoscale scale and in the marine boundary layer (MBL) by an intensive modeling effort that is coordinated cooperatively with relevant field studies. Assess the role of mesoscale forcing in shaping the structure and dynamics of the coastal MBL. Advance understanding of the detailed turbulence mechanisms whereby heat, momentum, and moisture are exchanged between the atmosphere and underlying surface, whether it's land or water.
