Observations (solid lines) and simulations (lines + symbols) using the MRF-St, MRF-Mod, YSU-St, and YSU-Mod schemes for vertical profiles of potential temperature and specific humidity for (a) 11:00 UTC on 27 April 2008, (b) 12:00 UTC on 28 April 2008, and (c) 12:00 UTC on 29 April 2008. (d) Hourly evolution of the mixing layer height obtained from the simulations (lines + symbols) and from meteorological soundings (black points) for the period from 27 April 2008 at 00:00 UTC to 29 April 2008 at 18:00 UTC.
