What Does CBL Stand For?
CBL stands for Convective Boundary Layer
CBL, or Convective Boundary Layer, refers to the lower part of the atmosphere that is directly influenced by surface heating and cooling. This layer is characterized by convective processes resulting from solar radiation, which causes warm air to rise and cooler air to descend, leading to turbulence and mixing. The CBL plays a critical role in weather patterns, air quality, and the dispersion of pollutants, and its depth and structure can vary significantly based on time of day and environmental conditions. Understanding the dynamics of the CBL is essential for accurate weather forecasting and climate modeling.
