Abstract

In this chapter we shall present a brief outline of the tropical boundary layer. This is the region of the atmosphere where the air/sea and air/land interactions take place and the surface fluxes of heat, momentum and moisture are generated and vertically distributed. Its structure is very important for studies of tropical convection and tropical disturbances, especially hurricanes, the ITCZ, waves and low-level jets, all of which require a detailed knowledge of the lowest 1km of the atmosphere.
