Abstract

Since the atmospheric boundary layer is one of the main components of the climate system, its realistic parameterization can yield better climate prediction models. However, there are relevant issues that need to be addressed to improve boundary layer parameterization like how to represent subgrid vertical fluxes, how to represent cloud fraction and cloud water, how to solve the equations efficiently and how to develop more general parameterizations that represent all types of boundary layers. As such, the Parameterization of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer was held in June 2005 at the UCL conference Center in California to tackle this issue. It discussed issues regarding boundary layer clouds, stable boundary layer, interaction with the surface, and interaction with deep convection.
