My Sandbox

Welcome to the README of my sandbox. This page aims to provide an overview of the projects under /sandbox/Antoonvh/. The main theme here should be geophysical flows. More specifically, I am interested in the atmospheric boundary layer. I hope you find something that sparks your interest.

-Antoon van Hooft-
