Observations of Coastally Transitioning West African Mesoscale Convective Systems during NAMMA

Table 4

Heights for the top of the tropical boundary layer as calculated from . The heights are shown as pressure level (hPa) and MSL height (m). BL stands for boundary layer. The first three rows are for the mean TCP case for times prior to, during, and after MCS progression through the region. The last 3 rows are for the mean NTCP case for the same times as the mean TCP case.
