Elastic-backscatter-lidar-based characterization of the convective boundary layer and investigation of related statistics
We applied a ground-based vertically-pointing aerosol lidar to investigate the evolution of the instantaneous atmospheric boundary layer depth, its growth rate, associated entrainment processes, and turbulence characteristics. We used lidar measurements with range resolution of 3 m and time reso...
