Abstract

Sawyer and Li (2013) developed a technique to derive the PBL height from micropulse lidar (MPL) backscatter measurements using combined wavelet covariance transform and iterative curve-fitting methods. The wavelet covariance transform method applies a Haar wavelet function to MPL backscatter signals (Brooks et al., 2003).

Planetary Boundary Layer from AERI and MPL

Dataset Sawyer, Virginia

The distribution and transport of aerosol emitted to the lower troposphere is governed by the height of the planetary boundary layer (PBL), which limits the dilution of pollutants and influences boundary-layer convection. Because radiative heating and cooling of the surface strongly affect the PBL top height, it follows diurnal and seasonal cycles and may vary by hundreds of meters over a 24-hour period. The cap the PBL imposes on low-level aerosol transport makes aerosol concentration an effective proxy for PBL height: the top of the PBL is marked by a rapid transition from polluted, well-mixed boundary-layer air to the cleaner,more »« less

Planetary Boundary Layer Height (PBLH) over SGP from 1998 to 2023

Dataset Su, Tianning ; Li, Zhanqing

PBLH is a critical parameter influencing weather phenomena, air quality, and various meteorological processes. However, accurately retrieving PBLH has been a challenging task due to limitations such as coarse temporal resolution and measurement drift in traditional radiosonde observations. To address these limitations, we have devised a lidar-based methodology that capitalizes on a newly developed algorithm for PBLH retrieval. This algorithm demonstrates enhanced capabilities in capturing diurnal fluctuations in PBLH compared to existing lidar-based methods (Su et al. 2020). In addition, we have refined this algorithm specifically for PBLH retrieval under cloudy conditions through a novel scheme (Su et al. 2022).more »« less
