Vertical Profiles of (a) virtual potential temperature ( ) and ( ), (b) bulk Richardson number ( ), and (c) sea breeze component ( ) depicting three different techniques adopted for determination of mixed layer height (MLH), turbulent flow depth (TFD), and sea breeze flow thickness (SBFT), respectively. These layers are marked by arrows in Figure.
