Afternoon and evening transitions in the atmospheric boundary layer: observational and numerical analysis

This PhD thesis focuses on the study of the physical processes occurring in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) during the transition from a convective, well-mixed diurnal situation, to a nocturnal stable one: the afternoon and evening transition. This is a challenging topic mainly due to the confl...
