Boundary Layer Meteorology
During the course students will acquire basic knowledge on atmospheric turbulence and theoretical as well as practical approaches to treat atmospheric boundary layer flows. They will familiarize with the relevant processes (turbulent transport, forcing) within and typical states of the atmospheric boundary layer. They will be presented with idealized concepts as well as their adaptations under real surface conditions (as, for example, over complex topography).
Please upload your solved problem sheets as a PDF (or Zip in case of multiple files) until Thursday evening using the upload links below. Please name your file with firstname_lastname.pdf/zip.
You can solve the exercise on computer or by hand, but please hand in your solutions in digital form.
