Vellinga, O. S., 2002:
Intercomparison of Local and Non-Local Atmospheric Boundary-Layer Schemes in MM5 with Detailed Observations.
MSc Theses (Adviser: J. Vilà), Wageningen University, The Netherlands, 35 pp.
[A clear convective boundary layer (CBL) developed over Cabauw (the Netherlands) during the 2nd and 3rd May 1995 is simulated by MM5. The CBL is used to intercompare the performance of four boundary layer schemes implemented at MM5. In particular the non-local schemes MRF and BLA and the local schemes ETA and BRT. Surface, upper air variables and the boundary layer depth calculated by MM5 are compared with detailed observations. It is shown that the non-local schemes (MRF and BLA) are in a better agreement with the observations]
