The author prepared the notes for graduate classes while on sabbatical leave at the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University in 1994 and 1998 and the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles, in 2006. The notes evolved over those years. These lecture notes cover the basic concepts of PBL turbulence and describe different PBL types including clear convective, neutral and stable regimes, as well as boundary-layer clouds. The last chapter introduces various PBL parameterization schemes developed for weather and climate models UCAR/NCAR - Library OpenSky Support PO Box 3000 Boulder CO 80307-3000 opensky@ucar.edu http://opensky.ucar.edu/ homepage pointOfContact PDF Text theme Resource Type 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z publication Turbulence Stratocumulus Cumulus Curriculum support theme U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2021-09-17 revision 11.2 NASA Global Change Master Directory originator Valids List: Science and Services Keywords Copyright Author(s).
