"This study examines atmospheric boundary layer over and around the Gulf of Mexico during return flow events. The locations investigated are on both the Texas coast and the Florida coast. Moreover, several inland stations such as Jackson (JAN), Mississippi and Shelby Co Airport (BMX), Alabama are added to the analyses to make some comparisons. In addition to examining the boundary layer structure of these coastal and inland stations, an attempt is made to investigate thermadynamic structure on the continental shelf of the Gulf of Mexico in terms of both synoptic analysis and model applications. Return flow events of the Gulf of Mexico are mainly examined by using a three dimensional Air Mass Transformation (AMT) model and a one-dimensional Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) model. The models are intende for short-range weather forecasts of the temperature profiles in the lower atmosphere and the structure of the boundary layer"--Abstract. / Typescript. / "1996." / "Submitted to the Department of Meteorology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Paul H.
