Estimate of the Arctic Convective Boundary Layer Height from Lidar Observations: A Case Study by L. Di Liberto, F. Angelini, I. Pietroni, F. Cairo, G. Di Donfrancesco, A. Viola, S. Argentini, F. Fierli, G. Gobbi, M. Maturilli, R. Neuber, M. Snels

“…The scope of the present study is to compare several approaches to estimate the PBL height, by using lidar observations, meteorological measurements by radio soundings, and a zero-order one-dimensional model based on a parameterization of the turbulent kinetic energy budget within the mixing layer, under the assumptions of horizontal homogeneity, and neglecting radiation and latent heat effects. A case study is presented here for a convective PBL, observed in June 2010 in order to verify whether the Gradient Method can be applied to lidar measurements in the Arctic region to obtain the PBL height. …”
