Dear Colleagues,
I would like to draw you attention to the session AS2.03 "BASIC STUDIES ON
TURBULENCE IN ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC BOUNDARY LAYERS (GENERAL SESSION)"
at the General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union EGU that will
take place in Vienna, Austria, from 2 April to 7 April 2006. On behlf of
organisers I kindly invite you to attend our bmeeting and submit abstract.
The deadline for submition of abstracts is 13 Jannuary, 2006.
I would be gratefull if you forward this information to your colleagues
who may be interested to participate in our session.
With best wishes,
Arakel Petrosyan.

BASIC STUDIES ON TURBULENCE IN ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC BOUNDARY LAYERS
(GENERAL SESSION)


This symposium is focused on fundamental advances in understanding the
mean dynamical and thermodynamical structure and the turbulence and
mixing properties of boundary layers in the atmosphere and ocean.
Contributions reporting theoretical, numerical or experimental work are
welcome. Topics
of particular interest in 2005 include: (i) Turbulence and mixing
characterization in convective, neutral and stably stratified boundary
layers. (ii) The scale dependence
parametrization of turbulence and mixing (ranging from large-eddy
simulations of boundary layer flows with subgrid parametrization,
egional models with subgrid boundary-layer flow parametrization, and global
climate and weather prediction models). (iii) The mixing height over
heterogeneous and complex terrains. (iv)The role of organized vortices
and other coherent motions, such as roll vortices in the planetary
boundary layer and Langmuir circulations in the ocean mixed layer. (v)
Turbulence in cloudy boundary layers. (vi) The roughness sublayer of
the turbulent boundary layer especially over urban areas.
