Understanding Near-surface and In-cloud Turbulent Fluxes in the Coastal Stratocumulus-Topped Boundary Layers

Abstract

The long-term goal of this project is to understand the spatial and temporal variation of the surface fluxes in ocean upwelling coastal regions and to improve the physical parameterizations of surface flux and boundary layer processes in regional and climate models.
