Paper on Canopy-DALES
A new multi-layer representation for natural canopies is implemented and evaluated against a comprehensive of observations in DALES. Results show that surface fluxes such as evaporation, sensible heat and carbon…
New paper on current and future challenges on land-atmosphere interactions
In a paper, recently published in Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, researchers present four interconnected present and future challenges to study the interaction between land and atmosphere. They…
Zonnige lente kwam niet door lockdown
De lente van 2020 was uitzonderlijk zonnig. De link met een schonere lucht als gevolg van de lockdown door corona werd al snel gemaakt. Onterecht, blijkt uit onderzoek van onder…

The greens and whites of the Amazonia system are talking face-to-face
Similar to the temperate climate of the Ruisdael Observatory, key ecosystems such as the Amazonia rainforest-cloud system are facing disruptions due to the seasonal changes triggered by climate modifications. In…
Bridging the gap between atmospheric physics and biology
Bridging the gap between atmospheric physics and biology in studies of the small spatiotemporal land-atmosphere interactions With a fresh approach and strategy, the CloudRoots field experiment was designed to obtain…
Finding a hair in the swimming pool
Finding a hair in the swimming pool: The signal of changed fossil emissions in the atmosphere Three leading scientists of the Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) community have written an…
Sea-breezes enhance stability in the atmosphere
By applying a strict filtering to 10-year observations and mesoscale model results at the Cabauw site, we find the challenges in reproducing the main characteristics of the sea breeze due…
