Short summary
Compared to other regions, the eastern Mediterranean is rich in aerosol content and dust storms but poor in atmospheric measurements. This research is a first attempt in Israel to estimate the diurnal mixed layer height (MLH) based on CL31 ceilometers using the wavelet covariance transform (WCT) method. Simultaneous measurements, onshore and inland, showed a significant difference of 200 m of the MLH between the two sites, only 7.5 km apart, which complies well with radiosonde profiles.
