Abstract:

A method is suggested for retrieving the diurnal variation in the height of turbulent mixing layer based on the height-temporal distributions of the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy and variance of radial velocity obtained from measurements with a conically scanning coherent Doppler lidar. The accuracy of determining the mixing layer height by the method suggested is analyzed.

Keywords:
