Field
Year-long ARM Mobile Facility deployment with urban, rural and Chesapeake Bay nodes, measuring how the urban boundary layer differs from its surroundings through all seasons, including low-level jets and bay breezes. Doppler lidar, soundings, eddy covariance and profilers; free ARM account needed.
