Biography

Jordi Vila-Guerau de Arellano's research primarily investigates clear and cloudy planetary boundary layers and the interaction of atmospheric mesoscale phenomena with biospheric processes. His interests span the influence of atmospheric physical processes on atmospheric chemistry. His methodologies revolve around the development of a model hierarchy, ranging from simple conceptual models to complex turbulence-resolving mesoscale models, and combine field observations from various ecosystems including semi-arid regions like Atacama, rainforests in Amazonia, subtropical forests in Southeast USA, temperate climates in the Netherlands, and boreal forests in Finland. Prof. Vila-Guerau de Arellano is actively involved with the Ruisdael 4D observatory. He has designed and lectured courses on Atmospheric Modeling, Boundary-layer Processes, and Cloud Dynamics in Atmospheric Chemistry. Additionally, he has co-developed interactive software, CLASS, alongside colleagues to study and teach about diurnal land-atmospheric boundary layer carbon and ozone cycles.
