Improving Daytime Planetary Boundary Layer Height Determination from CALIOP: Validation Based on Ground-Based Lidar Station

Figure 2

Example of the wavelet covariance transform. The CALIOP profile was acquired at 12:51 UTC (daytime) on September 4, 2013. (a) The total attenuated backscatter at 532 nm acquired by CALIOP, (b) result of the covariance transform for different wavelet dilations applied to the profile in (a), and (c) result of top heights of PBL derived from CALIOP and ground-based Lidar, respectively.
