Title: Lidar Measurement of Boundary Layer Winds and Convective Structure.
Abstract: Abstract : The following report is a summary of studies on planetary boundary layer visualization and remote determination of wind profiles and turbulence quantities by means of a lidar. These investigations rely on inhomogeneities in the natural aerosol distribution to delineate eddies in the boundary layer. Measurement of the rate of displacement of these eddies yield horizontal wind components. Observations of the daytime growth of the convective boundary layer are compared to a theoretical model.
