Wikipedia talk:Education program archive/University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)/The Atmospheric Boundary Layer (2014 Q2)/Course description

The atmospheric boundary layer is the lowest portion of the atmosphere, representing the interface between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere. This region is strongly affected by turbulence and plays an important role in the exchange of heat, momentum, trace gases, and aerosols between the Earth’s surface and the free troposphere. This class will explore the properties of the atmospheric boundary layer, with emphasis on processes that play important roles in the exchange of energy, mass, and momentum between the surface and the atmosphere.
