Vertical profiles of potential temperature and specific humidity based on observations (solid lines) and model simulations (lines + symbols) using the MRF-St, MRF-Mod, YSU-St, and YSU-Mod schemes for (a) 16:00 UTC on 22 November 2008, (b) 13:00 UTC on 23 November 2008, and (c) 16:00 UTC on 24 November 2008. (d) Hourly evolution of the mixing layer height obtained from the simulations (solid line) and from meteorological soundings (black points) for the period from 22 November 2008 at 00:00 UTC to 24 November 2008 at 18:00 UTC.
