The ozone variability observed by tropospheric ozone lidars during the ESCOMPTE campaign is analyzed by means of a hybrid-Lagrangian modeling study. Transport processes responsible for the formation of ozone-rich layers are identified using a semi-Lagrangian analysis of mesoscale simulations to identify the planetary boundary layer (PBL) footprint in the free troposphere. High ozone concentrati...

The paper presents an approach to generate consistent maps in real-time using a laser range sensor. Its application scenario is the Bremen Autonomous Wheelchair “Rolland” that is developed as an autonomous transport vehicle for hospitals. The paper consists of two parts: in the first one, a laser scan matching method is presented that in several aspects improves an algorithm originally proposed...
