Diagnosing Predicted Boundary Layer Evolution Errors during the Morning Trans…

ABSTRACT: The morning transition is the period when the planetary boundary layer (PBL) transitions from stable to unstable conditions. It is critical that numerical weather prediction (NWP) models sufficiently represent the various forcings that contribute to the PBL heat and moisture budgets during the morning transition, as they impact forecasts of air quality, turbulence, aerosol dispersion,…
