The Atmospheric Boundary Layer above the Agulhas Current during Alongcurrent Winds

The 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...

Considerations for bistatic probing of clear-air winds in the atmospheric boundary layer

Coupled Dynamics of the Wave-Atmospheric Boundary Layer at Strong Winds

The main goal of the proposed research is to study theoretically the role of the breaking wind waves and the sea spray, generated by them, under strongly forced situations in the airflow dynamics in particular in energy, momentum, heat and moisture transfers through the sea surface. Through this to increase the knowledge of the air-sea interaction and to apply this knowledge for developing impr...

Atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in remote European and Atlantic sites located above the boundary mixing layer.

BACKGROUND, AIM AND SCOPE Ambient air concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were determined at five elevated mountain sites on the European continent and the Atlantic Ocean. All sites can be considered remote background areas since they are situated above the timberline and they lack local emission sources of these compounds. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Average gas phase concent...

Decoupling of the Agulhas Leakage from the Agulhas Current

The relationship between theAgulhas Current and theAgulhas leakage is not well understood. Here, this is investigated using two basin-scale and two global ocean models of incrementally increasing resolution. The response of the Agulhas Current is evaluated under a series of sensitivity experiments, in which idealized anomalies, designed to geometrically modulate zonal trade wind stress, are app...
