Abstract
A high-resolution, one-dimensional, moist planetary boundary layer (PBL) model is developed following Blackadar, and verified using the 10 April 1979 SESAME data set. The model consists of two modules to predict the time-dependent behavior of the PBL under various surface characteristics. Under stable conditions, turbulent fluxes are related to a local Richardson number. In contrast, under conditions of free convection, the exchange of heat, moisture and momentum occurs through mixing between convective elements originating at the surface and environmental air in the PBL.-from Authors
