Abstract
The Doppler-On-Wheels (DOW1) radar and the NOAA/ETL high-resolution Doppler lidar (HRDL) were used to measure meso- and microscale convective boundary layer structures, respectively. The data were compared with observations from the 1996 Flatland/Lidars In Flat Terrain experiment in Illinois. Integrating datasets from multiple instruments is important since different instruments are conducive to observing different scales of phenomena. DOW1 supplied information on the larger-scale view of convection which would not have been available with the lidars alone. Conversely, HRDL provided small-scale information which was not available from DOW1. Examining data from both sensors provide information on meso- and microscale boundary layer structures.
