| | 6 | The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is directly affected by the underlying surface. Inhomogeneous meteorological surface forcing can yield to circulations affecting the turbulent exchange in the entire ABL. \\ |

| | 8 | This research project studies the effect of heterogeneous meteorological forcing on the structure of the ABL using LES. Simulations based on the LITFASS-2003 dataset will be carried out to investigate exchange processes and the state of turbulent mixing under different atmospheric conditions. Furthermore, the measurement strategies of the LITFASS-2003 experiment will be investigated and possible improvements for the measurement strategies will be derived. |
