Ekman layer

One of the main layers of the troposphere, it is the layer of transition between the surface boundary layer, where shearing stress is constant, and the free atmosphere, where the atmosphere is treated as an ideal fluid in approximate geostrophic balance. Also called spiral layer. Together with the surface boundary layer, it makes up the planetary boundary layer.
