Applications
Urban Air Mobility is the application the center's founding concept develops in depth. It is one of several: the same boundary layer governs coastal and offshore operations, urban and rural contrasts, and the human systems that sit inside it.
01
UAM vehicles operate within the Atmospheric Boundary Layer, where interactions with the environment and human systems are strongest.
02
The systems that low-altitude operations depend on, and the communities beneath them.
03
The marine boundary layer and the coastline, where the low atmosphere changes character.
04
Coupling high-resolution urban weather models with building energy models to forecast how city heat and structure shape energy demand.
Underneath all of it
Each of these depends on understanding the atmospheric boundary layer — its structure, its drivers, and how it changes between the coast, the city and the countryside.
