Planetary boundary layer height from CALIOP compared to radiosonde over China

Abstract: Abstract. Accurate estimation of planetary boundary layer height (PBLH) is key to air quality prediction, weather forecast, and assessment of regional climate change. The PBLH retrieval from the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) is expected to complement ground-based measurements due to the broad spatial coverage of satellites. In this study, CALIOP PBLHs are derived from combination of Haar wavelet and maximum variance techniques, and are further validated against PBLHs estimated from … Show more

“…Since the main body of the TP has only one layer of aerosol for most time and the aerosol near the earth's surface in the planetary boundary layer has important effects on radiative forcing and human health [52][53][54]. It was valuable and interesting to study the characteristics of the lowest aerosol layer over the TP.…”

“…PBL depths may also be inferred using a variety of remotely sensed surfacebased platforms, including wind profilers [12,13], aerosol lidars [14], sodars [15,16], and spaceborne lidars [17][18][19]. Of these observational platforms available for estimating PBL depths, rawinsonde observations have the longest spatiotemporal coverage around the world.…”

“…The lidar technique has provided a useful tool to investigate cloud and aerosol properties with high temporal resolution in the atmosphere . It is also known to be suitable for studying the PBL and its evolution (Yan et al, 2013;Zhang et al, 2016). Micro Pulse Lidar (MPL) systems were used to measure aerosol properties during the Indian Ocean Experiment (IN-DOEX) 1999 field phase (Welton et al, 2000.…”
