What Does PBL Stand For?
PBL stands for Planetary Boundary Layer
PBL, or Planetary Boundary Layer, refers to the lowest part of the atmosphere, typically extending from the Earth's surface up to about 1 to 2 kilometers. This layer is characterized by significant turbulence and variations in temperature, humidity, and wind speed due to surface heating and cooling. Understanding the PBL is crucial for meteorology, climate science, and environmental studies, as it influences weather patterns, air quality, and the transfer of pollutants.
