Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009923
The layer of the urban atmosphere extending from the ground up to the average height of buildings and other structures. This zone is characterized by complex airflow patterns, radiation trapping, and heat storage within the urban fabric. It is the primary interface where human activities directly interact with the atmosphere, influencing local microclimates.
