Zusammenfassung |
Atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) processes are important in climate, weather
and air quality. A better understanding of the structure and the behavior of
the ABL is required for understanding and modeling of the chemistry and
dynamics of the atmosphere on all scales. Based on the systematic variations
of the ABL structures over different surfaces, different lidar-based methods
were developed and evaluated to determine the boundary layer height and
mixing layer height over land and ocean. With Atmospheric Radiation
Measurement Program (ARM) Climate Research Facility (ACRF) micropulse lidar
(MPL) and radiosonde measurements, diurnal and season cycles of atmospheric
boundary layer depth and the ABL vertical structure over ocean and land are
analyzed. The new methods are then applied to satellite lidar measurements.
The aerosol-derived global marine boundary layer heights are evaluated with
marine ABL stratiform cloud top heights and results show a good agreement
between them. |
