In the dry zone, the atmosphere cools by radiation, which requires compensating adiabatic heating from subsiding motions. In the case of a freestream flow past a cylinder, three methods may be employed to control the boundary layer separation that occurs due to the adverse pressure gradient. Therefore, it is an important part of the atmosphere and it has a direct impact on the biosphere. For studies of the whole boundary layer, early approaches had to rely on balloonborne instrumentation free and tethered sounding balloons, or constant volume free balloons until aircraft techniques and facilities became more widely available.

Role of the atmospheric boundary layer the atmospheric or planetary boundary layer plays an important role in many fields, including air pollution, agricultural meteorology, hydrology, aeronautical meteorology, mesoscale meteorol ogy, weather forecasting and climate. Here we show that the efficacy of a forcing is determined by the effective heat capacity of the atmosphere, which in cold and dry climates is defined by the depth of the planetary boundary layer.
