The 19th International Symposium for the Advancement of Boundary-Layer Remote Sensing (ISARS) takes place at Cologne from 22-25 May 2018. It brings together scientists studying the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL), which makes up approximately the lowest 1-2 km of the atmosphere. The ABL is the part of the atmosphere strongly influenced by the surface and the region where large parts of human, animal and plant life takes place. Energy fluxes such as momentum, heat and radiation from and to the surface determine our every day life, e.g. in terms of the daily evolution of wind, cloudiness, temperature and even severe precipitation (thunderstorms). However, continuously observing and accurately modelling the ABL is still a major challenge. This has mainly to do with the fact, that ABL processes are turbulent and take place on scales from 1 km down to millimeters. Be aware that nowadays weather forecast models cannot resolve clouds smaller than a few kilometers.
