the growth of the length scale, agree better with the observations compared to the<br />
surface-layer wind profile, which under- and over-predicts the wind speed beyond the<br />
surface layer. The models also depend on the BLH, which is estimated under neutral<br />
and stable conditions using surface-layer turbulence measurements and under unstable<br />
conditions using ceilometer observations of the aerosol backscatter profile.<br />
