Study of Diurnal Cycle Variability of Planetary Boundary Layer Characteristics over the Red Sea and Arabian Peninsula

Description

This
work
is
aimed
at
investigating
diurnal
cycle
variability
of
the
planetary
boundary
layer
characteristics
over
the
Arabian
Peninsula
and
the
Red
Sea
region.
To
fulfill
this
goal
the
downscaling
simulations
are
performed
using
Weather
Research
and
Forecasting
(WRF)
model.
We
analyze
planetary
boundary
layer
height,
latent
and
sensible
heat
fluxes,
and
surface
air
temperature.
The
model
results
are
compared
with
observations
in
different
areas,
for
different
seasons,
and
for
different
model
resolutions.
The
model
results
are
analyzed
in
order
to
better
quantify
the
diurnal
cycle
variability
over
the
Arabian
Peninsula
and
the
Red
Sea.
The
specific
features
of
this
region
are
investigated
and
discussed.
