Mixing-layer height retrieval with ceilometer and Doppler lidar: from case studies to long-term assessment
Aerosol signatures observed by ceilometers are frequently used to derive mixing-layer height (MLH) which is an essential variable for air quality modelling. However, Doppler wind lidar measurements of vertical velocity can provide a more direct estimation of MLH via simple thresholding. A case study reveals difficulties in the aerosol-based MLH retrieval during transition times when the mixing ...
متن کاملCeilometer-Based Analysis of Shanghai’s Boundary Layer Height (under Rain- and Fog-Free Conditions)
To investigate the boundary layer dynamics of the coastal megacity Shanghai, China, backscatter data measured by a Vaisala CL51 ceilometer are analyzed with a modified ideal curve fitting algorithm. The boundary layer height zi retrieved by this method and from radiosondes compare reasonably overall. Analyses of mobile and stationary ceilometer data provide spatial and temporal characteristics ...
متن کاملMixing layer height retrievals by multichannel microwave radiometer observations
The mixing layer height (MLH) is a key parameter for boundary layer studies, including meteorology, air quality, and climate. MLH estimates are inferred from in situ radiosonde measurements or remote sensing observations from instruments like lidar, wind profiling radar, or sodar. Methods used to estimate MLH from radiosonde profiles are also used with atmospheric temperature and humidity profi...
متن کاملOperational Modal Parameter Estimation from Short Time-Data Series
Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) is a technique of extracting modal parameters of a system from output responses only. It is an emerging field in structural dynamics and has been applied to complex structures that are often difficult to analyze using traditional Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA) techniques. Since the input information is unavailable in OMA, the technique makes use of certain as...
متن کاملAerosol lidar observations of atmospheric mixing in Los Angeles: Climatology and implications for greenhouse gas observations
Atmospheric observations of greenhouse gases provide essential information on sources and sinks of these key atmospheric constituents. To quantify fluxes from atmospheric observations, representation of transport-especially vertical mixing-is a necessity and often a source of error. We report on remotely sensed profiles of vertical aerosol distribution taken over a 2 year period in Pasadena, Ca...
