It should be noted that the BLview algorithm provides several layer candidates so that some post-processing is required to select the appropriate MBLH. Meteor. Vajda etal.,2011). Several studies highlight the fact that synergy analysis of MWR and aerosol lidar data is particularly promising for nocturnal layer assessment given the respective strengths in observing SBLH and RLH features (CollaudCoen etal.,2014; deArrudaMoreira etal.,2020; Da Silva etal.,2022).

Meas. introduction. Where observations from multiple profilers are available simultaneously, analyses suggest that a synergistic interpretation of results from different methods could lead to an enhanced description of the ABL, including the detection of sub-layer heights (Saeed etal.,2016) and the description of the processes shaping the ABL development (Manninen etal.,2018). Data Types and Variables - . Other airborne measurements of meteorological variables and atmospheric composition tend to reach higher atmospheric levels, including in situ sensors attached to radiosonde balloons or on board of aeroplanes. There is no rank or order between these groups. Steyn etal.,1999; Eresmaa etal.,2006, 2012; Li etal.,2017; Peng etal.,2017). Numerous methods are available to derive the height of the ABL and its most prominent sub-layers, namely the mixing boundary layer height (MBLH) and the height of the residual layer (RLH). %PDF-1.5 Res., 75, 183200, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.atmosres.2004.12.005, 2005.a, Rotach, M.W. and Zardi, D.: On the boundary-layer structure over highly ALCs record the attenuated backscatter (Sect.

Methods exploiting wind profile observations to detect ABL heights can generally be grouped into those using components of the mean wind and those based on turbulence indicators. 3), multi-sensor analysis has the potential to better quantify the relation of layer heights based on thermodynamic, dynamic, and aerosol-based retrievals, which is expected to provide valuable new insights into the understanding of ABL dynamics during CBL development. The decay in surface-driven buoyancy is directly monitored by the turbulence profiles obtained by sodars, DWLs, or RWPs (Sect.

Still, a shallow mixing layer may form around sunset (decoupled from the RL) as the nocturnal surface buoyancy is now only driven by storage and anthropogenic heat fluxes and is hence weaker than the mixing during daytime. The SlideShare family just got bigger. Significant advances in ground-based remote-sensing measurement technology and algorithm development now allow for continuous profiling of the entire ABL vertical extent (ranging from a few tens of metres to >3km or even higher, depending on geographic settings and synoptic conditions) at high temporal and vertical resolution (Illingworth etal.,2019; Cimini etal.,2020) and automatic detection of ABL sub-layer heights from different atmospheric quantities (CollaudCoen etal.,2014; Duncan etal.,2022).
