The Role of Atmospheric Boundary Layer Processes in Atmospheric Chemistry
WHAT: Junior and senior researchers identified, discussed, and studied outstanding issues related to atmospheric boundary layer processes closely linked to atmospheric chemistry WHEN: 20–24 November 2006 WHERE: Castelldefels, Spain he importance of atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) dynamics and physics in controlling key aspects of atmospheric chemistry is becoming increasingly recognized. Proce...
متن کاملAtmospheric effects in satellite imaging of mountainous terrain.
It is possible to obtain useful maps of surface albedo from remotely sensed images by eliminating effects due to topography and the atmosphere, even when the atmospheric state is not known. A simple phenomenological model of earth radiance that depends on six empirically determined parameters is developed given certain simplifying assumptions. The model incorporates path radiance and illuminati...
متن کاملConvective Boundary Layer Heights Over Mountainous Terrain—A Review of Concepts
Mountainous terrain exerts an important influence on the Earth’s atmosphere and affects atmospheric transport and mixing at a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. The vertical scale of this transport and mixing is determined by the height of the atmospheric boundary layer, which is therefore an important parameter in air pollution studies, weather forecasting, climate modeling, and many o...
متن کاملEstimating the atmospheric boundary layer height over sloped, forested terrain from surface spectral analysis during BEARPEX
The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) height (zi) over complex, forested terrain is estimated based on the power spectra and the integral length scale of cross-stream winds obtained from a three-axis sonic anemometer during the two summers of the BEARPEX (Biosphere Effects on Aerosol and Photochemistry) Experiment. The zi values estimated with this technique show very good agreement with observa...
متن کاملUsing wind fields from a high resolution atmospheric model for simulating snow dynamics in mountainous terrain
It is widely known that the snow cover has a major influence on the hydrology of Alpine watersheds. Snow acts as temporal storage for precipitation during the winter season. The stored water is later released as snowmelt and represents an important component of water supply for the downstream population of large mountain-foreland river systems worldwide. Modelling the amount and position of the...
