  "term": "Mechanical internal boundary layer",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A layer of air that forms downwind of a change in surface roughness, such as from water to land or from a smooth to a rough terrain. Within this layer, the wind profile adjusts to the new surface characteristics, leading to increased turbulence and altered momentum transfer. Its depth grows with distance downwind from the roughness change.",
