A Critical Gap: In situ Measurements of Planetary Surface-Atmosphere Interactions Beyond Earth

The lack of robust measurements of vertical gradients of natural boundary layers and transport fluxes beyond Earth precludes adequate estimation of aeolian and other meteorological processes throughout our Solar System. This motivates the need for in situ aeolian and other meteorological measurements on an extraterrestrial surface, such as Mars.
