Marine Boundary Layer feature has been studied using the observations collected during Arabian Sea Monsoon Experiment (ARMEX) – 2002. Mixed layer heights were estimated using radiosonde observations. It is observed that the boundary layer undergoes weak/small diurnal changes during monsoon conditions. The height of mixed layer varied from 200 – 1000 m depending on the synoptic weather conditions. Convective Boundary Layer is observed to grow rapidly with increase in mean mixed layer temperature.
