A&O SCI C144Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences · 4 units · Undergraduate upper division (100-199)
Atmospheric boundary layer is lowest portion of atmosphere, representing interface between Earth’s surface and atmosphere, is strongly affected by turbulence, and plays important role in exchange of heat, momentum, trace gases, and aerosols between Earth’s surface and free troposphere. Investigation of properties of atmospheric boundary layer and processes that determine them. Concurrently scheduled with course C222.
P/NP or letter grading.
