Coastal Air Quality PBL Issues
- Land-Sea Breeze and coastal front (soil moisture, synoptic forcing)
- Complicated SST structure (upwelling, coastal current systems, eddies)
- Internal PBL's and transitions stable - unstable
- Stable PBL fundamentals(SHEBA data/analysis)
- Surface turbulent deposition (gas, particles)
- Surface wave - flux interactions (standard bulk relationships)
- Model assimilation of mesonet (profilers, surface obs, scanning radars)
