Sensitivity of land-atmosphere exchanges to overshooting PBL thermals in an idealized coupled model
The response of atmospheric carbon dioxide to a given amount of surface flux is inversely proportional to the depth of the planetary boundary layer (PBL). Overshooting thermals that entrain free tropospheric air down into the boundary layer modify the characteristics and depth of the mixed layer thr...
