Abstract:The structure and intensity of turbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) drive fluxes of sediment, contaminants, heat, moisture, and CO

at the Earth’s surface. Where ABL flows encounter changes in roughness—such as cities, wind farms, forest canopies, and landforms—a new mesoscopic flow scale is introduced: the internal boundary layer (IBL), which represents a ne… Show more
