Mixing heights calculation by different MM5 PBL schemes (stable and unstable conditions)
Bulk PBL, based on bulk-aerodynamic parameterization
High-resolution Blackadar PBL, (Zhang and Anthes, 1982)
Burk-Thomson PBL, based on Mellor-Yamada formulas (Burk and Thompson, 1989)
Eta PBL, Mellor-Yamada scheme with local vertical mixing (Janjic, 1990, 1994)
Gayno-Seaman PBL, based on Mellor-Yamada TKE prediction specialized on saturated conditions (Ballard et al., 1991)
MRF PBL, based on Troen-Mahrt representation for countergradient term and K profile in the well mixed PBL (Hong and Pan, 1996)
Pleim-Chang PBL, the Asymmetric Convective Model, using a variation on Blackadar’s non-local vertical mixing (Pleim and Chang, 1992)
Penn State/NCAR Mesoscale Model MM5 (Anthes and Warner, 1978)
