First Announcement

22 - 25 May 2018University of Cologne, Germany

Developments in Ground-Based Remote Sensing of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer• Physical basis for remote sensing of atmospheric

boundary layer (ABL)• New Instrument systems and approaches• Evaluation and assessment of observation systems• Multi-instrument retrieval applications• Combining ground-based and satellite remote sensing• Advances in observational networks

Boundary-Layer Studies• Observation of boundary layer structure in different

environments• Identification of key boundary layer processes• Interdisciplinary studies (including atmospheric

chemistry and biogeochemistry)

Atmospheric Modelling and Ground-Based Remote Sensing • Atmospheric boundary layers in numerical models• Model assessment• Parameterization development (e.g. cumulus

convection) based on ABL observations• LES for optimized measurement strategy design• Data assimilation trials (OSE, OSSE, FSO,..)

Applications for ABL Remote Sensing• Short-term forecasting• Severe weather• Wind & solar energy• Air quality• Aviation• Climatology• Urban meteorology
