land use and boundary layer processes
Head of the working group
Dr. Valeri Goldberg
The working group deals with the influence of local and regional interactions between land surface and atmosphere on processes in the atmospheric boundary layer. Models with different physical basis of the process description are applied. Results of long-term micrometeorological measurements (WG Water and Carbon Budget) and special measurements (Thetered balloon, LIDAR, SODAR, Acoustic Tomography) are used for model evaluation.
Working focus
- Interaction between land surface and climate at the local scale
- Importance of fragmentation and spatial heterogeneities of the landscape for the intensity of interactions
- Definition and derivation of coupling measures, effective parameters, and landscape heterogeneity measures
- Investigation of meteorological effects in sound propagation for different land uses
- Evaluation of interaction processes (Energy and matter) as part of the uncertainties in flux determination at the landscape scale
- Current urban climate issues (including urban redevelopment-urban microclimate interaction, cumulative effects, bioclimate, noise pollution)
- quantitative wind climatology for wind energy applications at heights above 100 m (see, e.g., Projekt QuWind100)
- Interaction of urban and rural boundary layers (interaction with WG Urban Climate)
