Climatological mean and median PBL depth seasonal cycles over the Cfa climate type sites illustrating variability in PBL depths during different months (a). Different symbols mark climatological monthly mean and median PBL depths over 12 IGRA sites shown in Table 1. Box-and-whisker analyses of the site-to-site PBL depth variability over Cfa type climatic region (b) based on the results shown in panel (a).
