Planetary Boundary Layer Height (PBLH) over SGP from 1998 to 2023
Abstract
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). To ensure data reliability, a quality-control process has been implemented to filter out questionable data points. Accompanying the data set is a quality-control flag for ease of reference. It should be noted that we have assimilated all available radiosonde observations to provide a more robust estimate of PBLH, making the data set valuable for a variety of related studies.
