Method (Symbol) | Description | Reference |
Parcel (par) | Height of the mixing layer is based on the vertical displacement of the air parcel on the surface. It corresponds to the height of the value of the virtual potential temperature at the value of the surface. | |
Maximum vertical gradient of potential temperature (Th) | The height corresponding to the maximum of the vertical gradient of the potential temperature | |
Specific humidity (Sh) | The height corresponding to the minimum of the vertical gradient of the specific humidity | |
Surface-based inversion (Rh) | The height corresponding to the minimum of the relative humidity | |
Refractivity (N) | The height corresponding to the minimum of refractivity | |
Inversion of the temperature in altitude (temp) | Basis of altitude inversion of the temperature | |
Inversion of the surface temperature | Top of the surface temperature inversion | |
