Call for papers in Coastal and Urban Meteorology :) A special issue is being prepared in coastal and urban meteorology ;) The editors would love to collect articles on the topic to improve the way we understand and model the physical processes occurring in coastal and urban regions. Do you think it fits to your research? the deadline for submission is 25 May 2021... don't miss it then! Find out more infos in the pdf below :) All the info

Save the Date! Upcoming ACTRIS workshop! Hi All! today we would like to advertise this upcoming workshop organized by ACTRIS, thanks to Giulia Saponaro who let us know :) ACTRIS in collaboration with our partners at the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East Climate and Atmosphere Research Center (EMME-CARE, emme-care.cyi.ac.cy) is organizing a virtual workshop on Innovation in Atmospheric Sciences on Tuesday the 18th of May. The call for abstracts and participant registration to the...

New paper on MWR profiling! Hey ho! have you heard? There's a new paper out. We interviewed Nico Cimini, one of the co-authors, here's what he answered. (PS: is there anything you'd like to ask the authors we did not ask?This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. :) 1) What was the problem you tackled? You know the atmosphere attenuates radiowaves used in telecommunication. By how much? It depends on atmospheric conditions, such...

Newborn subgroup in probe! on complex terrains The atmospheric boundary layer over mountainous regions is much more complex and inhomogeneous than over flat terrain! did you know? Imagine, people dedicated a specific name to it, that is Mountain boundary layer (acronym MoBL). Why, you may wonder... well, let's put it like this. Aerosols, trace gases, pollutants that we produce at the surface in flat regions are pushed upwards by convection developing with the day, bu also by meso-scale...

Newborn subgroup in probe! urban environments Have you ever looked at a city from a drone? or from satellite? it is made of areas very different in terms of roughness, heat and moisture. Think for example, of a green park and a highway during a summer day! The urban boundary layer (UBL) is strongly affected by the characteristics of these areas and this fact has consequences on all the application that deal with your normal life, such as air quality, human thermal comfort, weather,...

New paper on algorithms for ABL height detection using automatic lidars and ceilometers :) A new paper was recently published. We asked three main questions to the main author, Simone Kotthaus, a post-doc at the Ecole Politecnique, Paris. 1) what was the problem you tackled? International networks of automatic lidars and ceilometers (ALC) are gathering valuable data about the ABL. To automatically detect the height of the atmospheric boundary layer and its sublayers,...
