Scientists found that the inner core’s structure changes as it rotates. It deforms at its border, potentially accumulating ...

Illustration of daytime-warm-season boundary layer circulations and Cumulus cloud formation over complex terrain. Current research efforts in mesoscale and boundary-layer dynamics utilize novel ...

A lthough the troposphere is often thought of as the closest layer of the atmosphere to the Earth's surface, the planetary boundary layer (PBL)—the lowest layer of the troposphere—is actually ...

The study of the processes that lead to the formation, growth, and precipitation of clouds in the boundary layer of the lower atmosphere. Develops models and analyzes observations to understand the ...

Working with the Applied Physics Group, some of the most recent laser diagnostics for hypersonic flow are being utilized to produce previously unobtainable views of the boundary layer. A "pulse-burst" ...

But recently scientists have made significant progress in understanding this "ice-ocean boundary layer." This progress is the subject of our new review paper, published today in Annual Reviews.
