The phrase "aerial surface" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to aviation, geography, or any discussion involving surfaces in the air or related to aerial phenomena.
Example: "The drone's sensors were calibrated to detect changes in the aerial surface during its flight."
Alternatives: "airborne surface" or "atmospheric surface".
Groundwater exploration techniques can be subdivided into four: aerial, surface, subsurface, and esoteric techniques (Badrinarayanan 2016).
The cuticle is a hydrophobic barrier located at the aerial surface of all terrestrial plants.
The bactericidal, fungicidal and sporicidal activities of aerial surface disinfection can be tested thanks to described procedures [ 3].
As a result, the aerial surface layer undulates and forms ridges containing other cavities, giving the colony its typical "fluffy" appearance.
This interplay is particularly evident in the development, pattern and function of stomata, epidermal pores on the aerial surfaces of land plants.
Unicellular trichomes can be found on the aerial surfaces of most flower-plants (angiosperms), some conifers (gymnosperms) and on some mosses (bryophytes) [64].
Artemisinin and a number of other terpenoids are produced in glandular secretory trichomes present on aerial surfaces of the plant.
Many vascular plants invest considerable resources in building, maintaining and filling GT on aerial surfaces (Levin 1973; Wagner 1991; Aagren and Schemske 1993).
The two Arabidopsis orthologs belonging to this orthogroup, AT1G25450 (CER6) and AT1G68530 (catalyzeatheyze the first step of the biosynthetic pathway for the layer of wax secreted onto the aerial surfaces of all land plants.
Cuticular wax production on aerial surfaces of plants has important roles in various physiological functions and developmental events; the wax prevents non-stomatal water loss, inhibits organ fusion during development, protects from UV radiation damage, and imposes a physical barrier against pathogenic infection [ 1- 4].
Armed with these tools, it should be possible to discover the mechanisms which A95 and other rock-inhabiting melanised fungi use to colonise inhospitable sub-aerial surfaces so successfully.
