On the computation of planetary boundary-layer height using the bulk Richardson number method

Experimental data from four field campaigns are used to explore the variability of the bulk Richardson number of the entire planetary boundary layer (PBL), <i>Ri</i><sub>bc</sub>, which is a key parameter for calculating the PBL height (PBLH) in numerical weather and climate...
