Toward assimilation of observation-derived mixing heights to improve atmospheric tracer transport models
Common transport models use the mixing height (MH) to determine turbulent coefficients and to obtain tracer concentrations in the planetary boundary layer (PBL). We conducted a pseudo data experiment to elucidate the impact of assimilating MHs to improve CO2 transport within the Stochastic Time-Inverted Lagrangian Transport model (STILT). Transport of CO2 was simulated for August 2006 with a recep
