Synopsis
Projects are available in the area of atmospheric boundary layer simulation and modelling. Currently the main focus is on improving the models used for microscale meteorological simulations. Areas of interest include cloud dynamics, surface layer turbulence, entrainment and mixing processes at the capping inversion, pollution dispersion and data assimilation techniques such as four dimensional variational data assimilation (4DVAR).
