The Northern Eurasian regions and Arctic Ocean will very likely undergo substantial changes
during the next decades. The arctic-boreal natural environments play a crucial role in the …

In the present study, an up-to-date assessment of the current Urbana Heat Island (UHI)-intensity
in urban areas in the Netherlands has been made. The underlying question is whether …

The results of a local and a nonlocal scheme for vertical diffusion in the atmospheric boundary
layer are compared within the context of a global climate model. The global model is an …

This paper describes a high resolution air mass transformation (AMT) model. The model is
intended for short-range weather forecasts of the temperature and humidity profiles in the …

In this paper a summary is given of observations and modeling efforts on surface fluxes,
carried out at Cabauw in The Netherlands and during MESOGERS-84 in the south of France. …

Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layers and Diurnal Cycles: Challenges for Weather and Climate
Models in: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society Volume 94 Issue 11 (2013) Jump to …

To describe the heat and scalar fluxes in the convective boundary layer, we propose expressions
for eddy diffusivities and countergradient terms. The latter expressions can be used in …

The major bottlenecks of existing algorithms to estimate the spatially distributed surface
energy balance in composite terrain by means of remote sensing data are briefly summarised. …

We study bulk formulations for the boundary-layer height which are currently in use for
atmospheric modelling. The formulations are based on various forms of the Richardson number, …

In this paper a simple empirical scheme is presented, which gives hourly estimates of the
surface fluxes of heat and momentum from routine weather data during daytime. The scheme is …
