TLDR
An overview of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) over both continental and ocean surfaces, mainly from observational and modelling perspectives, is given in this paper, where the authors present exciting challenges so far as improved understanding of ABL behaviour and improved representation of the ABL in numerical models of the atmosphere are concerned.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of methane emissions from the U.S. oil and gas supply chain
Ramón A. Alvarez,Daniel Zavala-Araiza,David Lyon,David T. Allen,Z. Barkley,Adam R. Brandt,Kenneth J. Davis,Scott C. Herndon,Daniel J. Jacob,Anna Karion,Eric A. Kort,Brian Lamb,Thomas Lauvaux,Joannes D. Maasakkers,Anthony J. Marchese,Mark Omara,Stephen W. Pacala,Jeff Peischl,Jeff Peischl,Allen L. Robinson,Paul B. Shepson,Colm Sweeney,Amy Townsend-Small,Steven C. Wofsy,Steven P. Hamburg +24 more
TL;DR: The magnitude of this leakage was reassessed and it was found that in 2015, supply chain emissions were ∼60% higher than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency inventory estimate, likely because existing inventory methods miss emissions released during abnormal operating conditions.

Aerosol and boundary-layer interactions and impact on air quality
Zhanqing Li,Zhanqing Li,Jianping Guo,Aijun Ding,Hong Liao,Jianjun Liu,Yele Sun,Tijian Wang,Huiwen Xue,Hongsheng Zhang,Bin Zhu +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the major advances in aerosol measurements, PBL processes and their interactions with each other through complex feedback mechanisms, and highlight the priorities for future studies.

The climatology of planetary boundary layer height in China derived fromradiosonde and reanalysis data
Jianping Guo,Yucong Miao,Yong Zhang,Huan Liu,Zhanqing Li,Wanchun Zhang,Jing He,Mengyun Lou,Yan Yan,Lingen Bian,Panmao Zhai +10 more
TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper conducted a comprehensive investigation of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) in China from January-2011 to July-2015, using the fine-resolution sounding observations made across China and reanalysis data, and found that the boundary layer height is generally higher in spring and summer than that in fall and winter.

Mesoscale shallow convection in the atmosphere
B. W. Atkinson,J. Wu Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the observational, experimental, theoretical, and numerical studies of mesoscale shallow convection (MSC) in the atmosphere can be found in this paper, where a review of theoretical and laboratory analyses and numerical modeling of MSC is presented.

Classification of summertime synoptic patterns in Beijing and their associations with boundary layer structure affecting aerosol pollution
Yucong Miao,Jianping Guo,Shuhua Liu,Huan Liu,Zhanqing Li,Zhanqing Li,Wanchun Zhang,Panmao Zhai +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the obliquely rotated principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to classify the summertime synoptic conditions over Beijing using the National Centers for Environmental Prediction reanalysis from 2011 to 2014, and investigated their relationships with PBL structure and aerosol pollution by combining numerical simulations, measurements of surface meteorological variables, fine-resolution soundings, the concentration of particles with diameters less than or equal to 2.5 µm, total cloud cover (CLD), and reanalysis data.

An Introduction to Boundary Layer Meteorology
TL;DR: In this article, the boundary layer is defined as the boundary of a boundary layer, and the spectral gap is used to measure the spectral properties of the boundary layers of a turbulent flow.

A First Course in Turbulence
Henk Tennekes,John L. Lumley +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a reference record created on 2005-11-18, modified on 2016-08-08 and used for the analysis of turbulence and transport in the context of energie.

Development of a turbulence closure model for geophysical fluid problems
George L. Mellor,Tetsuji Yamada +1 more
TL;DR: The second-moment turbulent closure hypothesis has been applied to geophysical fluid problems since 1973, when genuine predictive skill in coping with the effects of stratification was demonstrated as discussed by the authors.

On the Assessment of Surface Heat Flux and Evaporation Using Large-Scale Parameters
C. H. B. Priestley,R. J. Taylor +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the large-scale parameterization of the surface fluxes of sensible and latent heat is properly expressed in terms of energetic considerations over land while formulas of the bulk aerodynamic type are most suitahle over the sea.
