TL;DR: Elevated ozone levels are associated with dry tropical, dry moderate, and moist tropical air masses, with the highest ozone levels being associated with the dry tropical air mass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assimilating Surface Data to Improve the Accuracy of Atmospheric Boundary Layer Simulations
TL;DR: In this paper, a continuous surface data assimilation technique is developed to reduce large errors in atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) simulations, which can be caused by inaccuracies in the specification of surface characteristics in addition to assumptions and simplifications made in boundary layer formulations or other model deficiencies.
