QUANTITATIVE ECOLOGY Airborne Radar Observations of the Flight Behavior of Small Insects in the Atmospheric Convective Boundary Layer
The vertical ßight behavior of insects in the convective boundary layer (CBL) is examined by means of proÞling airborne Doppler radar data collected in the central Great Plains in late spring. On fair-weather days, the CBL grows from the ground up in morning hours and matures at a depth of 1,000Ð1,500 m shortly after midday. It is well mixed by thermals bubbling up from near the surface. Nevert...
متن کاملThe Martian Atmospheric Boundary Layer
[1] The planetary boundary layer (PBL) represents the part of the atmosphere that is strongly influenced by the presence of the underlying surface and mediates the key interactions between the atmosphere and the surface. On Mars, this represents the lowest 10 km of the atmosphere during the daytime. This portion of the atmosphere is extremely important, both scientifically and operationally, be...
متن کاملThe 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.

متن کاملObservations of high rates of NO2-HONO conversion in the nocturnal atmospheric boundary layer in Kathmandu, Nepal
Nitrous acid (HONO) plays a significant role in the atmosphere, especially in the polluted troposphere. Its photolysis after sunrise is an important source of hydroxyl free radicals (OH). Measurements of nitrous acid and other pollutants were carried out in the Kathmandu urban atmosphere during January–February 2003, contributing to the sparse knowledge of nitrous acid in South Asia. The result...
متن کاملParameterization of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer A
tion models, in spite of some advances, the boundary layer is still not represented realistically. Figure 1 illustrates an aspect of this problem by showing the opposing response of boundary layer (low) clouds to perturbation experiments (e.g., double CO2) in current climate models. The general problem of parameterization in fluids dates back to the first modern studies of turbulence during the...
