Radar Reflectivity–Based Estimates of Mixed Layer Depth

The Saharan Elevated Mixed Layer and its Aerosol Optical Depth

Schematic Skew-T soundings can be used to estimate the depth of elevated mixed layers and their origins thousands of kilometers downstream from their source regions. Focus is on the elevated mixed layer from the Sahara, the Saharan Air Layer (SAL), and its relationship to aerosol optical depth. Aerosol optical depth (AOD) measurements and SAL depth determined from atmospheric soundings were tab...

Filter Based Estimates of Depth

We compare the performance of three filters applied to a problem in computer vision, the estimation of the position and velocity of a uniformly translating point, using image measurements corrupted by Gaussian noise. We choose this very simple application in order to make the comparison between the three filters as clear as possible. The filters are (i) the optimal filter [1]; (ii) a second ord...

Mathematical algorithms for determination of mixed layer height from laser radar signals

This paper describes different mathematical algorithms used in the determination of mixed layer height (MLH) from the laser radar (lidar) signals. These methods are successfully applied to the indigenously developed portable lidar signals for retrieval of the depth of pollutants mixing in the lower atmosphere. The study also includes intercomparison between the methods. KeywordsPortable lidar, ...
