This lecture covers the vertical structure of the atmosphere, focusing on the atmospheric boundary layer in direct contact with the Earth's surface. It explains the key features of the boundary layer, such as its response time to external forces and the diurnal variations in solar radiation. The lecture also discusses the different layers of the atmosphere, from the surface layer to the free atmosphere, and the impact of atmospheric phenomena like inversion layers and atmospheric flows.
