WG2 subgroup meeting: ABL characterisation from DWL and MWR

Ground-based remote sensing instruments now start to provide large amounts of information that can be exploited to track the heights of the atmospheric boundary laery and its sublayers. In addition, information can be obtained on the state of the atmosphere in the lowest layers with respect to e.g. atmospheric stability or the sources of turbulence. While aerosol-based methods are increasingly tested for the implementation across larger networks, PROBE now also aims to better coordinate activities that are exploiting turbulence or thermodynamic information.

In this virtual meeting, the WG2 subgroup on ABL characterisation aims to assess the current state of tools and algorithms used within our community to determine ABL heights and the state of the atmosphere based on

• Wind and turbulence profiles obtained by e.g. Doppler wind lidars or Radar wind profilers
• Temperature and humidity profiles obtained by e.g. microwave radiometers, UAS or balloon soundings

We invite anyone to share thair expertise during this subgroup meeting. If you would like to present your algorithm, please contact the subgroup chairs:
