Regarding marine boundary layers, Huang et al.(2013) compare the total energy–mass flux (TEMF), YSU, MYJ, Mellor–Yamada–Nakanishi–Niino (MYNN), and Medium-Range Forecast Model (MRF) schemes to observations collected from three field experiments; MYNN, and especially TEMF, provide the least-biased thermodynamic structures. Huang et al. (2013) conclude that the inclusion of both local and nonlocal processes in TEMF results in more accurate PBL depictions in regimes for which stratocumulus and shallow cumulus clouds are present.
