The Research Philosophy of the ABI lab Using a simple formula to understand a complicated problem! |
|
The ABI lab conducts research on canopy transport processes by developing theory, designing observations and performing numerical simulations to understand the physical, biological and chemical processes that control the exchange of trace gases between vegetation (or urban buildings) and atmosphere. |
|
ABI will be engaged in the following research area: Ø Theoretically modeling the profiles of momentum, heat, CO2/H2O within canopies. Ø Analytically studying the instability of terrain-induced canopy flows. Ø Numerically simulating the terrain-induced canopy flows over complex terrain. Ø Intensive micrometeorology measurements over a complex terrain to study turbulent transport mechanisms in difficult conditions in Black Rock Forest. Ø Modeling feedbacks between weather and air quality in New York City based on meteorological network observations. Ø Numerically and experimentally studying turbulent transport processes in urban street canyon. Ø Diurnal evolution of the urban boundary layer based on network observations. Ø Improving land surface parameterization of mesoscale models. Ø Up-scaling U.S. CO2 flux from tower to satellite scales. |
