摘要
The objective of this study was the estimation of the dynamic evolution of the Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) height, using advanced remote sensing measurements from Finokalia Station, where the Pre-TECT Campaign took place during 1-26 April 2017. PollyXT Raman Lidar and Halo Wind Doppler Lidar profiles were used to study the daily vertical evolution of the PBL. Wavelet Covariance Transform (WCT) and Threshold Method (TM) were performed on different products acquired from Lidars. According to the analysis, all methods and products are able to provide reasonable boundary-layer height estimates, each of them showing assets and barriers under certain conditions. Two cases are presented in detail, indicating the limited daytime evolution of a coastal area, the decisive role of wind speed-direction in the formation of a shallow or high boundary layer and the differences when using aerosols or turbulence as tracers for the PBL height retrieval. Comparison between the observed PBL and ECMWF model results was made, establishing the importance of actual PBL measurements, in coastal regions with complex topography.
