-- How quickly does the boundary layer stabilize after crossing from land to water? What fluxes are required to accomplish the stabilization?
-- What physical processes create the surface-based inversion? Is shear-driven turbulence sufficient or does advected turbulence also play a role? How intense is the turbulence?
-- Are multiple distinct layers formed from the continental boundary layer after it passes over the water, and if so, how many and how deep is each of the layers?
-- Under what conditions is part of the polluted continental air lofted above a clean marine layer?
-- Does a mixed layer form again downwind, and if so, how far downwind?
-- What is the structure of the pollution plume from the continent in three dimensions? How does it vary with time?
