Description
Estimation of the PBLH (Planetary Boundary Layer Height) should be coded in ROPP. Possibly this will be done by Met Office (#353), but in any case we should have this in our dmi_trunk before our reprocessing activities.
We should follow recomendations on method in VS 21: http://www.romsaf.org/Publications/reports/romsaf_vs21_rep_v10.pdf.
The output should be a value (height) in a scalar field of the NetCDF observation files. There should also be a QC indicator, and/or possibly the field should be missing (ropp_MDFV) in cases where a reliable estimate was not possible.
The code needs comprehensive testing and data generated in VS 21 could perhaps be useful for this purpose. These data are stored on a disc mounted on roadrunner at DMI (roadrunner:/data2/forsker4/VS_Fei/delivarables/ro_pblh_dmi_2014).
