The ocean surface boundary layer (OSBL) is a dynamic region that mediates the exchange of momentum, heat, and gases between the atmosphere and the ocean. Recent advances in observational and ...

Journal of Hydrometeorology, Vol. 12, No. 5 (October 2011), pp. 766-786 (21 pages) ABSTRACT The inherent coupled nature of earth’s energy and water cycles places significant importance on the proper ...

There is a thin layer immediately above the Earth's surface known as the surface boundary layer (or simply the surface layer). This layer is only a part of the planetary boundary layer and represents ...

The planetary boundary layer (PBL) is also known as the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). It is the lowest part of the atmosphere and its behavior is directly influenced by its contact with the ground ...

A box model, contiguous with the coastline, 250 m in height, and with variable dimensions is employed to study the storage and the divergence/convergence of heat, water vapor, and mass in the internal ...

A recent study in Nature Communications by scientists from China and Belgium suggests that Mercury's core-mantle boundary (CMB) includes a diamond layer, potentially up to 18 kilometers thick, deep ...
