Exchange Processes in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer Over Mountainous Terrain

Exchange Processes in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer Over Mountainous Terrain

The exchange of heat, momentum, and mass in the atmosphere over mountainous terrain is controlled by synoptic-scale dynamics, thermally driven mesoscale circulations, and turbulence. This article reviews the key challenges relevant to the understanding of exchange processes in the mountain boundary...
