Microclimatology

Climatology of the planetary boundary layer. An examination of the dynamic exchanges of radiation, energy, water, and carbon at the Earth-atmosphere interface. Topics addressed include: surface radiation balance, latent and sensible heat flux, air pollution in the boundary layer, carbon dynamics in agricultural and natural ecosystems, and implications of atmospheric change on land-atmosphere interactions and tropospheric climate.
