Estimate of the Arctic Convective Boundary Layer Height from Lidar Observations: A Case Study

Figure 5

The PBL height as obtained from the Batchvarova and Gryning model (red line) and radiosonde (blue star) for 14 June 2010. The three red lines correspond to different 𝑤_𝑠 values, as discussed in the text. Black lines indicate the top of the aerosol layers, as detected by the DWT on lidar data, showing the associated indetermination. The aerosol layers enclosed in the green box are associated to hazy layers that likely do not mark off the PBL.
