On the Potential of 25 Years (1991–2015) of Rawinsonde Measurements for Elucidating Climatological and Spatiotemporal Patterns of Afternoon Boundary Layer Depths over the Contiguous US

Figure 12

Box-and-whisker analyses of the site-to-site PBL depth variability over the region classified as Dfa (a), BSk (b), Dfb (c), Dsb (d), and BWk (e). On each panel, climate type and number of IGRA sites for each category are also marked (see values in the parentheses). Similar -axis scale limits were used for comparison among the different climate types.
