Hi everybody
Reading the Hysplit technical guide it seems that, using the Beljaars-Holtslag expressions for vertical mixing coefficients, the K profile at each grid point is replaced with its vertical average.
Is it possible to use this method anyway avoiding such a vertical average?
thank you in advance

Re: Vertical Mixing Coefficients
The model will only perform the vertical averaging of the K profile if KMIX=1. Setting KMIX=0 (default) in the SETUP.CFG file will use the K profile.
I assume you are setting KBLT=1 to use the Beljaars-Holtslag parameterization.
Great question!!
