Jump model

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-010578

An idealized model of the atmospheric boundary layer in which temperature and moisture are uniform through the layer and an abrupt jump separates it from the air above. It is also called a slab model or mixed-layer model. Bulk models of this kind predict the strength of the capping inversion.
