| A time-height cross-section of wind profiler observations from Appledore Island, Maine (upper panel) together with predicted winds from the operational Eta model (lower panel), collected during the New England Pilot Studies - Temperature and Air Quality (NEPS-TAQ) 2002 program. Black dots in the model data indicate levels where the model TKE passes a threshold, indicating the PBL depth. The model shows a high degree of skill in forecasting the passage of a shallow, low-level wind reversal feature. |
Boundary Layer Processes and Applications Team
The focus of this group is to advance the understanding, parameterization, and measurement of the boundary layer and its interactions with its interfaces (surface and lower troposphere). This includes subsurface and lower tropospheric processes (e.g., clouds or ocean turbulence) to the extent that they directly couple through the interfaces or drive important surface processes.
