Delaminating the Marine Atmospheric Boundary and Saharan Air Layers: Observations and modeling by MAGPIE to understand marine boundary and lower free troposphere layer inhomogeneity over the Northwest Tropical Atlantic

Simplifying the atmosphere into discrete layers, such as the Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer (MABL) and its surface, mixed, and detrainment layers, as well as the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) aloft, is necessary in maritime meteorological modeling and data analysis. However, data reduction risks losing critical informat...
