Tropical Boundary Layer

The Tropical Boundary Layer is the lowest part of the tropical troposphere, distinguished by its direct interaction with the Earth's surface, where turbulent mixing, moisture fluxes, and surface-driven convection strongly influence the diurnal cycle of weather and climate processes in tropical regions.
