Short summary

An algorithm for an integrated system for ABLH estimation (ISABLE) was developed and applied to the vertical profile data obtained by a ceilometer and a microwave radiometer in Seoul city, Korea. The ISABLE algorithm finds an optimal ABLH through the post-processing including k-means clustering and density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) techniques. The ISABLE ABLH exhibited better performance than those obtained by most conventional methods.
