Estimating climatological planetary boundary layer heights from radiosonde observations: Comparison of methods and uncertainty analysis (2010, background): “…Oke, 1988; Sorbjan, 1989; Garratt, 1992], and the height (or depth) of the PBL is commonly used to characterize the vertical extent of mixing within the boundary layer and the level at which exchange with the free troposphere occurs [Bhumralkar, 1976; Seibert et al., 2000; Medeiros et al., 2005].”
A Modeling and Observational Framework for Diagnosing Local Land–Atmosphere Coupling on Diurnal Time Scales (2009, background): “…estimation, and prediction of L-A interactions and feedbacks has been growing significantly over the last decade (Jacobs and DeBruin 1992; Entekhabi and Brubaker 1995; Kim and Entekhabi 1998; Entekhabi et al. 1999; Liu et al. 2003, 2004, 2005; Medeiros et al. 2005; Dirmeyer et al. 2004).”
Observed Diurnal Cycle Climatology of Planetary Boundary Layer Height (2010, background): “While some attempts addressed the PBLH climatology from numerical models (Randall et al. 1985; Medeiros et al. 2005; Konor et al. 2009), the simulation results validation against observations has been essentially lack.”
On the computation of planetary boundary-layer height using the bulk Richardson number method (2014, background): “…in modeling turbulent mixing, atmospheric dispersion, convective transport, and cloud/aerosol entrainment (Deardorff, 1972; Holtslag and Nieuwstadt, 1986; Sugiyama and Nasstrom, 1999; Seibert et al., 2000; Medeiros et al., 2005; Konor et al., 2009; Liu and Liang, 2010; Leventidou et al., 2013).”
Interpretation of the positive low-cloud feedback predicted by a climate model under global warming (2013, methodology): “…Florent.Brient@lmd.jussieu.fr IPSL-CM5A climate model, a model participating both in the Coupled Models Intercomparison Project Phase 3 (CMIP3, Meehl et al. 2007) and Phase 5 (CMIP5, Taylor et al. submitted) and characterized by a strongly positive cloud feedback (Soden and Held 2006) and a…”
A Planetary Boundary Layer Height Climatology Derived from ECMWF Reanalysis Data (2013, methodology): “A 10-yr PBL climatology based on a pure general circulation model run is presented in Medeiros et al. (2005), along with a detailed analysis of the PBL drivers.”
