The planetary boundary layer (PBL) is a critical component of the Earth’s atmosphere, governing the exchange of momentum, heat, moisture and pollutants between the surface and the free atmosphere.

In meteorology, the planetary boundary layer (PBL), also known as the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) or peplosphere, is the lowest part of the atmosphere and its behaviour is directly influenced by ...

Global distribution of the land cover used in the analysis. Compared to the original Copernicus land cover dataset, the number of classes was reduced from 23 to 7. Unlocking the secrets of Earth's ...

The evaluation also confirmed the exceptional accuracy of PlanetiQ's data, which significantly outperforms other commercial radio occultation datasets assessed by independent researchers. PlanetiQ's ...

FARGO — There is a layer of air from the ground up to a few hundred feet called the planetary boundary layer. The boundary layer is heated by the convection of heat from the ground after the ground is ...

A new perspective piece argues that aquatic deoxygenation — the depletion of oxygen in marine and freshwater environments — should be considered its own “boundary” in the planetary boundary framework ...
