“…These results raise new questions about the differences in the nocturnal ABL between the ~10:30 p.m. and ~1:30 a.m. MODIS measurement times, and how such differences affect WF impacts. The nocturnal ABL can be complex and difficult to diagnose or predict due to night-to-night variability in turbulent and radiative cooling processes [22][23][24]. These questions will be addressed in future work using observational data from tall towers.…”

“…These data were previously compared with diagnostic formulas by Yu (1978) and Mahrt et al (1982). The values of u* are those calculated by Melgarejo Deardorff (1975).…”

“…In observational studies, the method for determining h varies from one investigator to another (Mahrt et al, 1982;Koracin and Berkowitz, 1988;Wetzel, 1982). Frequently the gradient of mean variables such as temperature, wind speed, or Richardson Number is used to estimate the NPBL depth.…”

“…Frequently the gradient of mean variables such as temperature, wind speed, or Richardson Number is used to estimate the NPBL depth. However, these diagnostic methods do not yield consistent results, and it is preferable to use actual measurements of turbulence (Mahrt et al, 1982). In this study, the standard deviation of the azimuth angle (filtered to remove the effects of gravity waves and meandering) is used as a measure of turbulence and as an estimator of the NPBL depth.…”
