Entrainment Layer

Entrainment Layer is a sublayer within the planetary boundary layer that serves as the transitional zone where turbulent mixing incorporates environmental air from the free atmosphere into the boundary layer, thereby distinguishing it from the surface layer and mixed layer through its role in regulating vertical scalar and momentum exchanges.
