Diurnal Climatology of Planetary Boundary Layer Height Over the Contiguous United States Derived From AMDAR and Reanalysis Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2020
The diurnal variation of the planetary boundary layer height (PBLH) over the contiguous United States (CONUS) is examined using Aircraft Meteorological Data Reports (AMDAR) at 54 major airports and the ERA5 reanalysis product.

A barotropic planetary boundary layer

Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 1983
The temperature and wind profiles in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) are investigated. Assuming stationary and homogeneous conditions, the turbulent state in the PBL is uniquely determined by the external Rossby number and the stratification parameters. In this study, a simple two-layer barotropic model is proposed. It consists of a surface (SL) and

Frontal Substructures Within the Planetary Boundary Layer

Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 1996
A two-dimensional mesoscale model, extended by a TKE closure for the subgrid-scale terms and coupled with a soil model, is used to investigate the role of the Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) for the development and the substructures of two different types of cold fronts.

The Planetary Boundary Layer

1995
The term planetary boundary layer (PBL) is often used as a synonym for the Ekman layer (i.e., for the region in which the convergence of the vertical flux of momentum is of the same order as the Coriolis force and the pressure gradient). The definition favored in this chapter is somewhat broader and includes the regions on both sides of the interface ...

Long‐Term Trends of Persistent Synoptic Circulation Events in Planetary Boundary Layer and Their Relationships With Haze Pollution in Winter Half Year Over Eastern China

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2018
Air quality in China has been gradually improving because of recent emission control policies, but synoptic circulations in the planetary boundary layer have become increasingly conducive to haze formation.

The Planetary Boundary layer

2001
It is natural to think that the atmosphere rotates with the same velocity as the solid Earth although it is not at all obvious why this should happen. In general, we could say that the Earth drags the atmosphere because of the friction between the surface and the atmospheric layers near it.

Molecules in Boundary Layers in Planetary Nebulae

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1997
Newly formed planetary nebulae are very interesting objects for the astro-chemist to study, since they appear to involve the interaction of a dense, molecule-rich superwind with the UV field and fast wind from the revealed central star. In the simplest picture each of these winds has shocked and unshocked components but the fast wind remains wholly ...

The Planetary Boundary Layer

1985
Publisher Summary The planetary boundary layer (PBL) is that part of the atmosphere that is affected by the characteristics of the ground by rapid vertical exchange processes, mostly by turbulence. Its characteristics vary strongly from day to night and from land to sea.

Turbulence structure in the planetary boundary layer

Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 1973
This review of the last three years of progress in the understanding of wind profiles and the structure of turbulence in the planetary boundary layer is divided into three parts. The first part, by N. E. Busch, deals with the atmospheric surface layer below 30 m.
