Decisive for aging under weathering conditions are not the temperature and humidity of the ambient atmosphere (open-air or specimen-chamber climate), but the conditions of the boundary layer climate (microclimates) of the exposed surfaces [204]. 

Thus surfaces oriented vertically toward the East or West exhibit different aging behavior due to their different boundary layer climates, even though the sum of irradiation is equal [204].

The value of E is insensitive to small changes in ocean temperature but is quite sensitive to wind speed over the sea surface (boundary layer thickness, wave action, and bubble formation are functions of wind speed). Therefore changes in surface wind speed accompanying a climate change could affect rates of air-sea CO2 exchange.

As discussed in Section C.la, sea salt particles in the marine boundary layer have been shown to likely play a major role in backscattering of solar radiation (Murphy et al., 1998), i.e., to the direct effect of aerosol particles. However, they also contribute to the indirect effect involving cloud formation, since they can also act as CCN. Since such particles are a natural component of the marine atmosphere, their contribution will not play a role in climate change, unless their concentration were somehow to be changed by anthropogenic activities, e.g., through changes in wind speed over the... 

The EUSAAR/ACTRIS and GUAN networks are globally unique both in data quality and relatively dense network. Building a similar global network is a major undertaking, but would enable the community to efficiently characterize the aerosol number distribution, and thus to improve the potential of characterizing the climate impacts of aerosols in the global boundary layer. 

Figure 2. Schematic vertical profiles (a) h (dashed) and h (solid) and (b) q (dashed) and q (solid), (c) The temperature profile, corresponding to cpT = h — gZ — Lyq, illustrates die constant lapse rate within the boundary layer and the reduced lapse rate above the boundary layer. The boundary level (1 km) is indicated by die horizontal dashed line in each panel. These profiles illustrate typical climatic values that are determined by moist convective adjustment in the free atmosphere and dry adiabatic convection in the boundary layer.

It is known that the boundary layer in the urban areas has a complex structure due to multiple contributions of different parameters, including variability in roughness and fluxes, etc. All these effects can be included to some extend into models. For research purposes, the DMI-HIRLAM-UOl/IOl models (resolution of 1.4 km) with domains shown in Fig. 16.2 are employed for high resolution urbanized modelling (example is shown in Fig. 16.6b). The land-use classification is based on CORINE dataset (http //etc-lusi.eionet.europa.eu/CLC2000) and climate generation files. 

Figure 2 Global distribution of atmospheric CH4 from 1992 to May 1, 2001. Three-dimensional latitudinal distribution of CH4 in the marine boundary layer is presented. The surface represents data from the NOAA/CMDL cooperative air sampling network smoothed in time and latitude (source National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory (CMDL), Carbon Cycle Greenhouse Gases).
