Estimates of the spatially complete, observational-data-driven planetary boundary layer height over the contiguous United States by Z. Ayazpour, S. Tao, S. Tao, D. Li, A. J. Scarino, R. E. Kuehn, K. Sun

“…<p>This study aims to generate a spatially complete planetary boundary layer height (PBLH) product over the contiguous United States (CONUS). An eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) regression model was developed using selected meteorological and geographical data fields as explanatory variables to fit the PBLH values derived from Aircraft Meteorological DAta Relay (AMDAR) reports hourly profiles at 13:00–14:00 LST (local solar time) during 2005–2019. …”
