An examination of local versus nonlocal aspects of a TKE-based boundary layer scheme in clear convective conditions

In this study, the ability of a turbulent kinetic energy (TKE)-based boundary layer scheme to reproduce the rapid evolution of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) observed during two clear convective days is examined together with the impact of including nonfocal features in the boundary layer scheme...
