Convective mixing in the monsoon boundary layer

Aerological observations over a tropical inland station collected during different phases of the Indian summer monsoon have been used to study the convective mixing in the monsoon boundary layer. The mixing line (ML) model for the thermodynamic structure of a partially cloudy boundary layer has been used to estimate the mixing by convection. The ML model together with the saturation point approach is able to depict different convective mixing regimes in the monsoon boundary layer.
