CONT: ... the ""Atmospheric Surface Layer"" (ASL), the layer of the atmosphere within which all our activities (except flying) take place. The ASL is the inner layer of the PBL within which vertical mixing is limited by proximity to the ground - a layer within which the eddy size is small because the solid barrier prohibits any organized downward (or upward) motion. Vast amounts of heat and vapour travel through this surface layer to the outer PBL and ultimately the whole atmosphere.
OBS: The term ""atmospheric boundary layer"" may sometimes means ""planetary boundary layer"". To avoid confusion and misunderstanding within one another, preferably do not use these terms.
