The atmospheric boundary layer mediates the exchange of energy, matter, and momentum
between the land surface and the free troposphere, integrating a range of physical …

The paper reviews recent advances in our understanding about the dynamics of thermally
driven winds over sloping terrain. Major progress from recent experiments, both in the field …

We describe a new field campaign over a steep, snowy 30^ ∘ 30∘ alpine slope, designed to
investigate three recurrent issues in experimental studies of steep-slope katabatic winds.(1) …

We present the first direct comparison of turbulence conditions measured simultaneously
over exposed ice and a 0.08 m thick supraglacial debris cover on Suldenferner, a small …

Wintertime episodes of high aerosol concentrations occur frequently in urban and
agricultural basins and valleys worldwide. These episodes often arise following …

Monin–Obukhov similarity theory (MOST) is used in virtually all Earth System Models to
parametrize the near‐surface turbulent exchanges and mean variable profiles. Despite its …

Multi-scale interactions between the glacier surface, the overlying atmosphere, and the
surrounding alpine terrain are highly complex and force temporally and spatially variable …

Katabatic winds are very frequent but poorly understood or simulated over steep slopes.
This study focuses on a katabatic jet above a steep alpine slope. We assess the buoyancy …

Diurnal cycles of turbulent sensible and latent heat fluxes are typically closely related to the
diurnal cycles of solar irradiation under synoptically undisturbed and clear‐sky conditions. In …

Unstable surface‐layer velocity and temperature spectra, scaled using inertial subrange
properties and Monin–Obukhov similarity theory, have been known to show a notable …
