We compare 4 planetary boundary layer (PBL) schemes of Weather Research and Forecasting model for high Artic conditions, documented during summer and winter campaigns at Station Nord, Greenland. During March 2012, 22 radiosonds were launched at 00 and 12 UTC. During July-August 2011, 25 radiosondes...
