Trade Wind Boundary Layer Turbulence and Shallow Convection: New Insights Combining SAR Images, Satellite Brightness Temperature and Airborne In Situ Measurements
Abstract:The imprint of marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) dynamical structures on sea surface roughness, as seen from Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) acquisitions, is investigated. We focus on February 13th, 2020, a case study of the EUREC4A (Elucidating the role of clouds-circulation coupling in climate) field campaign. For suppressed conditions, convective rolls imprint on sea surface roughness is confirmed through the intercomparison with MABL turbulent organization deduced from airborne measurement… Show more
