Research goal
Contribute to the evaluation and development of the Eddy Diffusivity Mass Flux (EDMF) parameterization by using both existing and new data from the Navy Postgraduate School’s Twin Otter Doppler Wind Lidar (TODWL) in an investigation of lower tropospheric dynamics within the interaction zone of complex terrain and the coastal waters, especially in the presence of Organized Large Eddies (OLEs)and Low Level Jets (LLJs).

Additional goals
• Determine the angle between the rolls and the mean wind. Which mean wind?
• Investigate the apparent “integration” effects of the aerosols that persist without correlated velocity structures.
