Atmospheric boundary layer height and surface parameters: Trends and relationships over the west coast of India

Trends and features of Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) over southern part of the west coast of India has been studied using MERRA datasets for 1980–2018 during different seasons incorporating the marine and continental influences. A significant decrease in the ABL height (ABLH) has been observed in the westerly regimes of the west coast. The shallow ABL is expected to cause amplified response in the atmosphere and enhance the formation of...
