ABL-ROAD

Atmospheric Boundary Layer Research Over Arid Domains


Welcome to the ABL-ROAD group

A joint-Venture, collaborative initiative, and virtual platform to share and discuss need, status and propose research ideas on the topic ABL-ROAD (Atmospheric Boundary Layer Over Arid Region) as present in the southwest US. The ABL-ROAD effort gathers leaders in government and academia engaged in boundary layer meteorology research over arid region, meteorology and air quality management/forecasting, with the opportunity to learn and provide feedback on the development/strategy for better forecast and observations arguing the needs for both R2O and O2R in a timely manner
