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.

This schematic of the planetary boundary layer (red line) shows exchanges of moisture and movement of aerosols that occur between the Earth's surface and this lowest level of the atmosphere ...

We found big chunks of the impactor Theia.” With those five words to The New York Times, Caltech geophysicist Qian Yuan ...

Unlocking the secrets of Earth's planetary boundary layer (PBL), a pivotal zone influencing air quality and climate, a new study offers unprecedented insights into atmospheric thermal contrasts (TC).
