Xie et al. (2012) compare local and nonlocal schemes for simulations over Hong Kong and find that nonlocal influenced schemes [i.e., ACM2 and Yonsei University (YSU)] yield deeper and more accurate PBLs than those depicted by local schemes [i.e., Mellor–Yamada–Janji_c (MYJ) and Bougeault–Lacarrère (BouLac)].
