Abstract
A model is described in which a mixing height is determined on an operational basis for use in, for example, meteorological dispersion models. The core of the model is a scheme for numerical integration of the convective mising height z{sub i} during daytime hours. The integrated forenoon z{sub i}`s are adjusted when an evident raised inversion is observed in the noon temperature profile. A mechanical mixing height proportional to the friction velocity is determined for all hours. When present, a synoptic-scale lid is further taken into consideration. An operational mixing height z{sub mix} for all hours is chosen from the available canditates. A stability parameter - the Brunt-Vaisala frequency squared - is computed for the layers above z{sub mix} and z{sub i}. (au) (32 refs.).
