Abstract: In the morning, the nocturnal stable boundary layer, SBL, transitions into its daytime convective counterpart substantially impacting the distribution of temperature, humidity, and pollutants. Applying distributed temperature sensing (DTS) below a tethered balloon (2–200 m) and along a tower (0–11 m), for the first time we observed three morning transitions (MTs) in a mountain boundary layer with high temporal (
