Transport Processes in the Coastal Atmospheric Boundary Layer

Abstract

The long-term goals of this project are to better understand, and thus to be able to better predict, the transport of different constituents in the marine atmospheric boundary layer. This transport may be due to mesoscale flow systems at locations along mountainous coastlines or boundary layer processes at the coast. The transported constituents may be properties of the marine boundary layer, e.g. humidity, air pollution or aerosols, the latter both of natural and man-made origin. In particular I am interested in the cross-coast mixing potential. By this I mean the potential for finding properties from the marine environment inland or matter released over the continent end up in the marine environment.
