11. On the Arctic Boundary Layer : From Turbulence to Climate
Abstract : The boundary layer is the part of the atmosphere that is in direct contact with the ground via turbulent motion. At mid-latitudes the boundary layer is usually one or a few kilometers deep, while in the Arctic it is much more shallow, typically a few hundred meters or less. READ MORE

12. The thermohaline circulation during the Last Glacial Maximum and in the Present-Day climate
Abstract : The thermohaline circulation (THC) corresponds to the large time- and spatial-scales ocean circulation associated with the transport of heat and salt, and is known to be an important factor controlling the climate variability. The large scales involved in the THC make it difficult to observe, and therefore the synergy of numerical models and climate proxy reconstructions is particularly relevant to study the characteristics of this circulation in the present and past climates.

13. Mesoscale dynamics and boundary-layer structure in topographically forced low-level jets
Abstract : Two types of mesoscale wind-speed jet and their effects on boundary-layer structure were studied. The first is a coastal jet off the northern California coast, and the second is a katabatic jet over Vatnajökull, Iceland. READ MORE

14. Nano- and mesoscale morphology evolution of metal films on weakly-interacting surfaces
Abstract : Thin films are structures consisting of one or several nanoscale atomic layers of material that are used to either functionalize a surface or constitute components in more complex devices. Many properties of a film are closely related to its microstructure, which allows films to be tailored to meet specific technological requirements. READ MORE

15. Observing and Modeling Precipitation in the Tibetan Plateau region - from large-scale processes to convective storms
Abstract : Climate change in mountain regions has far-reaching societal impacts such as increased risks for natural hazards and water scarcity that may affect billions of people in the downstream regions. Precipitation changes play a critical role in these impacts due to their effects on river runoff and flooding. READ MORE
