Bulk Mixing and Decoupling of the Nocturnal Stable Boundary Layer Characterized Using a Ubiquitous Natural Tracer

Vertical mixing of the nocturnal stable boundary layer (SBL) over a complex land surface is investigated for a range of stabilities, using a decoupling index ( 0 < D r b < 1 ) based on the 2–50 m bulk gradient of the ubiquitous natural trace gas radon-222. The relationship between D r b and th...
