On the estimation of boundary layer heights: A machine learning approach
The planetary boundary-layer height (zi) is a key parameter used in atmospheric models for estimating the exchange of heat, momentum and moisture between the surface and the free troposphere. Near-surface atmospheric and subsurface properties (such as soil temperature, relative humidity etc.) are known to have an impact on zi. Nevertheless, prec...

The performance of a novel water vapor broadband differential absorption lidar (BB-DIAL) is evaluated. This compact, eye-safe, diode-laser-based prototype was developed by Vaisala. It was designed to operate unattended in all weather conditions, and to provide height-resolved measurements of water vapor mixing ratio in the lower troposphere. Eva...
