Abstract
In this paper a comparison of two methods for the calculation of the height of atmospheric boundary layer ABL using balloonborne GPS radiosonde data is presented ABL has been characterized using vertical profiles of meteorological parameter The gradient of virtual potential temperature 𝜃 v profile for the determination of mixed layer heights MLH and the mean value of turbulent flow depth TFD obtained from the vertical profile of Bulk Richardson Number R i B have been used in this study Oneyear data have been used for the study There is large seasonal variability in MLH with a peak in the summer and winter whereas the TFD remained steady throughout the year Results from the present study indicate that the magnitudes of TFD are often larger than the MLHThe authors gratefully acknowledge the SPL VSSC ISRO for their logistical and technical support in smooth functioning of balloon borne GPS ascents for the study under ISRO IGBP–NOBLE project Sagarika Chandra is thankful to the Birla Institute of Technology for sponsoring a fellowship for her PhD research work
