Atmospheric boundary-layer dynamics over heterogeneous surfaces is significant to a wide
array of geophysical and engineering applications. Yet, despite over five decades of intense …

Over the last 50 years the large-eddy simulation (LES) technique has developed into one of
the most prominent numerical tools used to study transport processes in the atmospheric …

Global warming increases the number and severity of deadly heatwaves. Recent heatwaves
often coincided with soil droughts that intensify air temperature but lower air humidity. Since …

Abstract The Chequamegon Heterogeneous Ecosystem Energy-Balance Study Enabled by
a High-Density Extensive Array of Detectors 2019 (CHEESEHEAD19) is an ongoing …

This paper describes MicroHH 1.0, a new and open-source (www. microhh. org)
computational fluid dynamics code for the simulation of turbulent flows in the atmosphere. It …

Anthropogenic heat and modified landscapes raise air and surface temperatures in
urbanized areas around the globe. This phenomenon is widely known as an urban heat …

Irrigation in semi-arid regions induces thermal heterogeneity across a range of spatial
scales that impacts the partitioning of energy at the surface, the development of the …

Vegetation and atmosphere processes are coupled through a myriad of interactions linking
plant transpiration, carbon dioxide assimilation, turbulent transport of moisture, heat and …

Idealized large-eddy simulations (LESs) with prescribed heterogeneous land surface heat
fluxes are performed to study the impact of the heterogeneity length scale and background …

The precise determination of evapotranspiration rate is challenging because it is a quantity
that is difficult to measure and to parametrize. Direct estimates include the determination of …
