Detailed Description

Subroutine that computes PBL height based on bulk RCH number.

This routine computes the bulk Richardson number based on algorithms from WRF surface layer and then derive PBL regime as follows:

1. BR >= 0.2; Represents nighttime stable conditions (Regime=1),
2. BR < 0.2 .AND. BR > 0.0; Represents damped mechanical turbulent conditions (Regime=2),
3. BR == 0.0 Represents forced convection conditions (Regime=3),
4. BR < 0.0 Represnets free convection conditions (Regime=4).

Parameters

[out]

PBLRI

PBL Height above ground.
