✦ Synopsis

This paper examines the assumptions and derivations that govern commonly used methods of estimating the height of the thermal internal boundary layer (TIBL) that occurs near shorelines. We show that nearly all these methods require inputs that can be defined only in the very limited context of the data set used to derive the empirical equations for the boundary-layer height. This analysis suggests that the current formulations have little general applicability, and it points to the need for more reliable methods for estimating the TIBL height.

A model for the time and space variation of the internal boundary-layer height over a land area with an irregular coastline is presented. It is based on the analytical model of the boundary-layer height proposed by Gryning and Batchvarova (1990) and Batchvarova and Gryning (199 1). The model account
