Data sets

Planetary boundary layer height 10-years long (2010--2020) global dataset from radiosonde A. Salcedo-Bosch https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15639749

Short summary

In this study, maps of the planetary boundary layer over Europe were generated by integrating multiple data sources. The results show higher accuracy compared with the widely used ERA5 reanalysis. The proposed regression kriging method performed well in estimating the height of the boundary layer at 12:00 UTC, and to a lesser extent at 00:00 UTC.
