Abstract
Using the recently introduced model for layered superconductors, we calculate the angular and temperature dependence of the upper critical field . By lowering the temperature we find a crossover from three-dimensional bulk behavior to decoupled two-dimensional layers in both the temperature and angular dependence of . This behavior is remarkably consistent with recent experiments and the comparison with the measured angular dependence provides an estimate for the interlayer coupling .
