Abstract

Deducing realistic planetary boundary layer heights (PBLH) is crucial for weather, climate, and air quality models, despite its equivocal nature. In this paper, a comparative assessment of seven PBLH estimation methods has been performed, with radiosonde profiles taken during the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses (AMMA) project campaign from June 2006 to July 2007 over 18 locations in West Africa.
