Description:"Two distinct sublayers characterize the structure of the atmospheric boundary layer: The constant flux layer, and the so-called Ekman layer. The constant flux layer lies immediately above the surface to approximately 50 m. In this layer the vertical variations of momentum, heat, and moisture fluxes are negligible and the wind direction is essentially constant. The Ekman layer lies above the constant-flux layer; typically turbulent fluxes within this layer decreases upward"--Introduction.
