Stably Stratified Atmospheric Boundary Layers (2014, background): “I do not consider the residual layer above the stable boundary layer (Tjernström et al. 2009), low-level jets (Andreas et al. 2000, Banta et al. 2006, van de Wiel et al. 2010), surface heterogeneity, variable cloudiness (Cava et al. 2004), surface fog formation (Duynkerke 1999), the role of the…”

The Critical Richardson Number and Limits of Applicability of Local Similarity Theory in the Stable Boundary Layer (2012, background): “A similar very shallow SBL, where a near-surface layer with continuous turbulence may be less than 5 m deep, has been reported by Smedman (1988), King (1990), Mahrt and Vickers (2006), and Banta et al. (2007).”
Doppler Lidar Estimation of Mixing Height Using Turbulence, Shear, and Aerosol Profiles (2009, methodology): “Similarly, Banta et al. 2006 demonstrated that the point at which LLJ shear exhibits a minimum typically corresponds to the top of the layer of increased surface-connected turbulence.”
Stable-boundary-layer regimes from the perspective of the low-level jet (2008, methodology): “For example, in studies where advection of material (water vapor, pollutants) is important, the strongest and deepest wind-speed maximum, which may be 400-1000 m AGL, would be the appropriate feature to define as a LLJ.”
