Cloud-topped Boundary Layers

Cloud-Topped Boundary Layer is a meteorological boundary layer regime characterized by the presence of a cloud field at its upper boundary, distinguishing it from cloud-free or decoupled boundary layer structures through the coupling of radiative, turbulent, and microphysical processes that sustain cloud persistence and influence boundary layer depth.
