Planetary Boundary Layer Dynamics

Planetary Boundary Layer Dynamics is a theoretical framework within atmospheric fluid mechanics that specifically describes the vertical and horizontal structure of turbulent flow, momentum, heat, and moisture exchange in the lowest layer of the troposphere directly influenced by surface friction, thermal forcing, and the Coriolis effect.
