Research Focus FY08:
Dr. Lenschow conducts research on both the clear and cloud-capped planetary boundary layer. He has devoted considerable effort to collecting and analyzing turbulence data from both airborne and ground-based field deployments. An example is the Dynamics and Chemistry of the Marine Stratocumulus (DYCOMS-II), conducted off the California coast in July 2001, where this picture caught him deep in thought planning a mission on the NCAR C-130 aircraft
