Where the ABL responds to significant surface heterogeneities (Banks etal.,2015; Haid etal.,2020; Vakkari etal.,2015), a site-specific design of DWL scanning strategies is recommended to best capture the variability in MBLH. For radiosondes launched with automatic systems, measurement uncertainties in the lowest part of the profile can pose challenges for the assessment of very shallow layer heights or near-surface stability conditions. (2018) highlight the fact that elevated turbulence can occur during the evening transition as the RL decouples. Multiple linear regression is used to show the relationship between one dependent variable and two or more independent variables. https://doi.org/10.1109/TGRS.2019.2918301, 2019.a, Liu, B., Guo, J., Gong, W., Shi, L., Zhang, Y., and Ma, Y.: Characteristics and performance of wind profiles as observed by the radar wind profiler network of China, Atmos.

If MBL and RL aerosols have similar characteristics, the MBLH may not be characterised by a particularly strong gradient (Granados-Muoz etal.,2012). The vertical resolution for the water vapour mixing ratio is less regular but still roughly linear with height. Still, even when trained with aerosol-derived layer estimates (Sect.

Aerosol profile information obtained from lidar systems can be analysed to obtain heights of the ABL and its sub-layers (Sect. In addition to instrument-related uncertainties, discrepancies in layer results arise from the choice of retrieval algorithm.

Significant advances in ground-based remote-sensing measurement technology and algorithm development now allow for continuous profiling of the entire ABL vertical extent (ranging from a few tens of metres to >3km or even higher, depending on geographic settings and synoptic conditions) at high temporal and vertical resolution (Illingworth etal.,2019; Cimini etal.,2020) and automatic detection of ABL sub-layer heights from different atmospheric quantities (CollaudCoen etal.,2014; Duncan etal.,2022). complex terrain: Key findings from MAP, Q.

A cross tabulation is a two-way table with the rows of the table representing the classes of one variable and the columns of the table representing the classes of another variable. Up to now, no quantitative, comparison analysis has been performed regarding MBLH estimates from different MWR types, although there have been field campaigns wherein multiple commercial MWRs were operated side by side, such as the Joint CALibration experiment (JCAL;Pospichal etal.,2016) or the recent Field Experiment on Submesoscale Spatio-Temporal Variability in Lindenberg (https://fesstval.de/, last access: 11January 2023; FESSTVaL).

Thermodynamic profiles from MWR or IRS have been demonstrated to be useful to estimate ABLH (Cimini etal.,2013) and atmospheric stability indices (Feltz and Mecikalski,2002; Wagner etal.,2008; Cimini etal.,2015).
