Abstract

The MicroPulse DIAL (MPD) is a diode-laser-based instrument for thermodynamic profiling in the lower troposphere. These instruments are eye-safe, low-cost, and can operate unattended, making them well-suited for network deployment. These instruments combine the differential absorption lidar and the high-spectral-resolution lidar techniques to provide range-resolved vertical profiles of atmospheric water vapor, temperature, and aerosol optical properties. As these instruments are deployed for field experiments, efforts are being made to add additional data products, such as the planetary boundary layer height (PBLH). This chapter describes a technique for using MPD-measured aerosol and water vapor profiles to locate the PBLH.
