| Abstract | Significant portions of Earth’s land surface are covered by complex terrain and vegetation. Simulating the air flow through these areas is key to predicting surface temperature, moisture, and air-quality related measures. While much research has studied how air flows across terrain or through forested canopies, less research has investigated the combination of these factors. Another complicating factor is the stability of the atmosphere, or how the structure of the temperature aloft affects whet |
