From Dutch Short-Lived to Antarctic Long-Lived Stable Boundary Layers

Stable boundary layers (SBLs) are a common aspect of the earth’s atmosphere and are characterized by a stable density stratification in which the temperature increases with height. This typically occurs during the night, resulting in a short-lived stable boundary layer, or persistently throughout the polar winter, resulting in a longlived stable...

In the clouds

Clouds always used to be the least understood element of the weather system, but that is rapidly changing . Computer clouds increasingly correspond with those in the sky, which promises weather forecasts at street level and more accurate climate scenarios.

Dew Formation, Eddy-Correlation Latent Heat Fluxes, and the Surface Energy Imbalance at Cabauw During Stable Conditions

Observations collected between 2000 and 2008 at the Cabauw meteorological measurement platform in the Netherlands were conditionally sampled to select nights with stably stratified atmospheric conditions, clear skies and weak horizontal wind speeds (<3ms?1). For these conditions the eddy-correlation latent heat fluxes are found to be negligibly...
