Abstract

The coastal TIBL is one of the most important and interesting atmospheric processes in shoreline areas, because it has some distinct turbulent features and because it has a major influence on atmospheric dispersion in shoreline areas. In this paper the characteristics of the TIBL, such as its growth parabolically with downwind distance and its turbulent structure are examined.
