Surface-based remote sensing of the mixing-layer height a review

Presently available methods for the determination of the mixing-layer height from surface-based acoustic, optical and electro-magnetic remote sensing are summarized and compared. Most complete information on the structure of the ABL can be expected from a combined use of acoustic together with optical or electro-magnetic remote sensing.
