There is a layer of air from the ground up to a few hundred feet called the planetary boundary layer. The boundary layer is the lowest layer of the atmosphere and is heated by the convection of heat ...

Thunderstorms, wind, fog, extreme rainfall – all these weather events develop in the near-surface layer of air in the earth's atmosphere. Quantifying the processes that occur in this layer using ...

The stable atmospheric boundary layer (SBL) is a critical component of the Earth’s atmospheric system, characterised by subdued turbulence and a pronounced stratification that suppresses vertical ...

Improved observations of the atmospheric boundary layer (BL) and its interactions with the ocean, land, and ice surfaces have great potential to advance science on a number of fronts, from improving ...

Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, Vol. 53, No. 1 (January 2014), pp. 136-156 (21 pages) ABSTRACT This paper demonstrates the capability of the Laser Environmental Effects Definition and ...

The results of the experiment “Comprehensive Observation on the Atmospheric boundary layer Three-dimensional Structure” (COATS) were recently published online in SCIENCE CHINA Earth Sciences. Based on ...

Oct. 8 (UPI) --Inside the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere, billions of negatively charged electrons bounce freely for long periods of time before being tamed by positive ions. The layer, the ...

Layers of Atmosphere: The Earth’s atmosphere is like an invisible blanket that surrounds our planet and makes life possible. It protects us from harmful solar radiation, keeps the temperature balanced ...

Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, Vol. 46, No. 9 (September 2007), pp. 1383-1395 (13 pages) ABSTRACT The modeling of the atmospheric boundary layer during convective conditions has long ...

Recent advances in atmospheric science have been significantly bolstered by the advent of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) as versatile platforms for measuring the dynamic conditions of the atmospheric ...
