Observations and Simulations of Diurnal Effects Contributing to the Modification of the Coastal Marine Atmospheric Layer

Abstract

The goal of this project is to increase our understanding of the modification of complex atmospheric dynamics, cloudiness, and fog due to the interaction of the air, sea, and land in a coastal region. This increased understanding will lead to improvements in parameterizations of turbulence, cloudiness, and fog. In general, it will improve the episodic and seasonal forecasting of coastal weather over a wide spectrum of spatial and temporal scales.
