The lowest layer of the atmosphere of order 100 m depth, i.e., the surface layer, is critical in supporting the fluxes of momentum, heat, and mass between the atmosphere and the earth's surface. Within this layer, windspeed, temperature, and humidity, exhibit significant vertical gradients; and the profiles in turn are used to estimate fluxes based on an idealized set of assumptions governing turbulence spectra. In this paper, we summarize recent developments of surface layer turbulence, that accommodate spatial inhomogeneities of windspeed, temperature, and humidity.
