Abstract

Three-dimensional simulations of meso meteorological processes in the Planetary Boundary Layer over Israel were performed using the PSU/NCAR (MM4) model, in order to investigate the low level flow and PBL depth variations. Two case studies have been simulated with opposed large scale flow, one is the ``Persian Trough'' with westerly flow and the other the ``Siberian High'' with easterly flow. It follows that the daily turbulent boundary layer is determined mainly by three factors: the surface heat flux, the topography and the sign and strength of the low-level flow horizontal divergence.
