Contents Working in the in-between: defining the boundary layer -- Always in flux: the nature of turbulence -- Here, there, and everywhere: spatial patterns and scales -- The known unknowns: measurement techniques -- What's next: boundary layer prediction methods -- Who's afraid of the dark: the not so stable stable boundary layer -- We can't move mountains: flow in complex environments -- If a tree falls: the role of vegetative environments in boundary layer fluxes -- But we build buildings: urban boundary layer -- Coming and going: transport and tracking -- Work it! Turning knowledge into power -- The times they are a changing: how boundary layer processes cause feedbacks and rectifiers that affect climate change and earth system modeling
Summary Conceptual Boundary Layer Meteorology: The Air Near Here explains essential boundary layer concepts in a way that is accessible to a wide number of people studying and working in the environmental sciences. It begins with chapters designed to present the language of the boundary layer and the key concepts of mass, momentum exchanges, and the role of turbulence. The book then moves to focusing on specific environments, uses, and problems facing science with respect to the boundary layer.
