MAR 599 - Atmospheric Boundary Layer Processes

This course provides the theoretical foundation for a quantitative understanding of transport processes and chemical transformations in the atmospheric boundary layer. Topics covered in this course include the equations of motions for the lower troposphere; the budget of turbulent kinetic energy; turbulent fluxes of momentum, heat and mass; treatment of chemical transformations; and the representation of these processes in numerical models.
