Current research efforts in mesoscale and boundary-layer dynamics utilize novel numerical and observational techniques. High-resolution model simulations are utilized to understand the connection between the micro-scale (cloud microphysics) and mesoscale motions, particularly in deep convective clouds. Several other key problems in the fields of mesoscale and boundary-layer dynamics are being explored using state-of-the-art observations, including stratified flow over complex terrain, coherent boundary-layer circulations (especially in cold-air outbreaks over water), and the initiation of deep convection (Geerts). These observational efforts rely heavily on the Wyoming Cloud Radar onboard the University of Wyoming King Air.
