<h2>5.2. Projects Topics<a class="headerlink" href="#projects-topics" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The projects should draw on the URAO data and/or AmeriFlux (and/or other sites if appropriate). The goal is to undertake a more in depth analysis of some aspect of Boundary Layer Meteorology. It is most likely to be a more in-depth analysis of data analysed in Assignment 1 (e.g. longer time period, different analyses discussed in class, lecture notes) or using the models discussed in class, etc.</p>
<p>Potential projects (these are just some ideas, others will be mentioned in class, or discuss other ideas with me/us)</p>
