Research Focus FY08:
My research interests include a number of areas:
-
Statistics and structure of canopy turbulence and the interaction with larger-scale planetary boundary layer (PBL) turbulence,
-
Impact of orography on turbulent exchange,
-
Response of the boundary layer to coupled land surfaces,
-
Interactions between PBL/canopy turbulence and chemistry,
-
Dispersion as affected by vegetation, and
-
Impacts of vegetation within land-surface models.
Most of my work involves the use of numerical simulation (using LES) to relate larger-scale models and measurements through process-level understanding.
