Abstract Fee and Author Instructions
All presenters must also register for the meeting.
The 26th Symposium on Boundary Layers and Turbulence is organized by the AMS Boundary Layers and Turbulence and hosted by the American Meteorological Society.
Boundary layers and turbulence theory
- General boundary layers and turbulence theory
- Convection and clouds in the unstable boundary layer, including radiative
feedbacks
- Stable and polar boundary layers (including results from MOSAIC)
- Beyond the textbook: unsteadiness, advection, baroclinicity, and more
Boundary layers over complex terrain
- Urban boundary layers
- Flow and turbulence in and over vegetation
- Mountainous and glacier boundary layers (including results TEAMx campaign)
- Heterogeneity and anthropogenic land modification impacts
Interactions with larger scales and other processes
- Land-atmosphere interaction across scales
- Marine and coastal boundary layers and processes
- Interaction of ABL dynamics with chemistry and ecohydrology
- Parameterization of boundary layers in weather and climate models
- Weather systems and extremes (fronts, tornadoes, hurricanes, heat waves) and
the ABL
Applications for critical and emerging challenges
- Boundary-layer meteorology and energy applications (wind, solar, demand,
forecasting)
- Pollution, heat, and dispersion from anthropogenic and natural sources (fires,
data centers, etc.)
Innovations in research methods
- Novel approaches for numerical simulations of the ABL
- Artificial intelligence in boundary layer studies
- New observational techniques and measurement strategies
- New data sets and field experiments
Student Presentation Awards
The 26th Symposium on Boundary Layers and Turbulence is proud to provide outstanding student presentation awards at the AMS 107th Annual Meeting in Denver, CO 10-14 January 2027. Monetary awards of up to $200 will be distributed for oral presentations and poster presentations in addition to a PDF certificate from AMS. Students must be enrolled at a college or university at the time of submission and must be the lead author and personally present the work at the meeting. Submitters should indicate their eligibility for student awards when submitting their abstracts. Award recipients will be informed of the committee's decision by early February 2027.
