This is rarely done, but is more often inferred through observations of current profiles and fitting to an Ekman layer profile [e.g., Eqs. (9.9) and (9.10) in Pond and Pickard (1978)].
with height, appreciable vertical wind motion and considerable water vapour content. Most of what we sense as weather (most clouds, rain, etc.) occurs in the troposphere. Meteorologists subdivide the troposphere into the boundary layer, Ekman ...
troposphere is characterized by decreasing temperature with height, appreciable vertical wind motion, appreciable water vapor, and weather. Dynamically, the troposphere can be divided into the following layers: surface boundary layer, Ekman layer, ...
