Abstract
The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) height a fundamental parameter characterising the structure of the lower troposphere. It is one of the important parameters requested by different dispersion models as input data for forecasting air quality. The aim of this chapter is to review various methods for the mixed layer height estimate in a complex coastal valley area and compare them to achieve critical awareness of their application. In this chapter, selected case studies of complex terrain meteorology are presented.
