Environmental Physics Compact Micro-pulse Backscatter Lidar and Examples of Measurements in the Planetary Boundary Layer
We present a micro-pulse depolarization-backscatter lidar for unattended measurements. The presented lidar originates from a lidar for a high-altitude aircraft, what is demonstrated in its compactness and the possibility for transportation with minimum resources. The lidar determines the aerosol backscatter coefficient in the PBL and lower troposphere, as well as the mixing layer height during ...
متن کاملFinding Boundary Layer Top: Application of a Wavelet Covariance Transform to Lidar Backscatter Profiles
Several recent studies have utilized a Haar wavelet covariance transform to provide automated detection of the boundary layer top from lidar backscatter profiles by locating the maximum in the covariance profiles. This approach is effective where the vertical gradient in the backscatter is small within and above the boundary layer, and where the inversion is sharp and well defined. These near-i...
متن کاملOn the computation of planetary boundary-layer height using the bulk Richardson number method
Experimental data from four field campaigns are used to explore the variability of the bulk Richardson number of the entire planetary boundary layer (PBL), Ribc, which is a key parameter for calculating the PBL height (PBLH) in numerical weather and climate models with the bulk Richardson number method. First, the PBLHs of three different thermally stratified boundary layers (i.e., strongly sta...
متن کاملLidar measurement of planetary boundary layer height and comparison with microwave profiling radiometer observation
The atmospheric boundary layer height was derived at two locations in the city of Lanzhou (China) and its suburb rural area Yuzhong. The aerosol backscatter lidar measurements were analysed using a wavelet technology and the parcel method was applied to profiling microwave radiometer observations. For a few occasions the average boundary layer height and entrainment zone thickness was derived i...
متن کاملThree years of routine Raman lidar measurements of tropospheric aerosols: Planetary boundary layer heights, extinction and backscatter coefficients
We have performed a three-year series of routine lidar measurements on a climatological base. To obtain an unbiased data set, the measurements were taken at preselected times. The measurements were performed between 1 December 1997, and 30 November 2000, at Kühlungsborn, Germany (54◦07′N, 11◦46′ E). Using a 5 Rayleigh/Mie/Raman lidar system, we measured the aerosol backscatter coefficients at t...
