Short summary
The evolution of the convective boundary layer (CBL) directly affects the day-to-day activity of living things by controlling the transport of pollutants, anthropogenic emissions, and moisture. During summer monsoon season cloudiness prevails over the Indian region. We found that the CBL is shallower during cloudy days compared to clear-sky days, whereas cloud at the CBL elevates its height. Thus, occurrence of cloud plays an important role in the day-to-day variation in the CBL height.
