The dynamics and physics of the atmospheric layer nearest to the Earth's surface are included in the boundary layer meteorology. This research aims to evaluate the impacts of aerosols at different altitudes with various optical properties on CBL development. The greatest impact occurs when aerosol absorption is low but close to the peak of CBL. The main objective of this research is to study the effect of aerosols which reduce the net heating, which in turn causes a decrease in the height of the CBL and increases the partitioning of the boundary layer. The methods used in the study depend on the hourly average height boundary taken from the European Centre for Weather Forecast (ECMWF) during the year 2021 over Baghdad City. It showed tha
