Aerosol transport and associated boundary layer thermodynamics under contrasting synoptic conditions over a semiarid site

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: due to a cold front passage). The aerosol transport, along with the derived properties of the mean up- and downdraft observations and variance-based (both vertical velocity and aerosol backscatter) turbulence profiling helped explain how frontal airmass exchanges impact aerosol loading near the surface. The results obtained emphasize the need to consider the impact of synoptic-scale events over drylands in both observational and atmospheric modeling studies.
