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

<div>Median PBL depths (d), from 1 Jan 1991 through 31 Dec 2015, in winter (panel (a)), spring (panel (b)), summer (panel c), and autumn (panel (d)) emphasizing the climatological median PBL depth seasonal cycle at the IGRA sites and the relevant spatial variability over the contiguous US in the four different seasons. A broad color bar scale limit (m) for PBL depths was chosen to cover the seasonal variability revealed in the measurements.</div>
