Abstract

It is shown how ground-based remote sensing can help us to improve the knowledge of atmospheric boundary layer and how mesoscale synoptic models can be used as a hindcasting tool. A technique is suggested for evaluation of the quality of boundary layer representation in the models using remote sensing data.
