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 relation to the variability of the sea state and the stratocumulus-topped boundary layers and to improve the physical parameterizations of surface flux and boundary layer processes in regional and climate models.
