Boundary Layer Decoupling

Boundary Layer Decoupling is a meteorological phenomenon in which the convective boundary layer becomes stratified into distinct sublayers, characterized by the suppression of turbulent exchange between the surface-driven mixed layer and the overlying air, thereby inhibiting vertical communication of heat, moisture, and momentum in the lower atmosphere.
