Hello,
I'm interested in obtaining PBL (planetary boundary layer) related data; mainly the distribution of PBL height and vertical velocity profile with time. In terms of time and length scales: I'm after the velocity profiles in the first 150-200 meters for a timespan of ~ 1 hour over a 5km x 5km domain.
My understanding is, PBL parameters start with 0 and require a certain amount of time to fully develop in WRF simulations. But I'm not sure what would be an optimal simulation time before starting to collect such usable PBL data. I'm used to running a 6-hours simulation before collecting the 1-hour data that I need, but I'm not sure if it is overkill or completely insufficient.
Can you please kindly advise? Do you have any rule of thumb, or an optimal run time, based on your experiences?
Greatly appreciate your help.
Regards,
Huseyin
