Abstract

Instrument performance and measurement aspects of Vertical Transport and MiXing, used for profiling the stable nocturnal boundary layer, is discussed. The Scanning Aerosol Backscatter Lidar (SABL) used in the process, produced very detailed images with interesting fine structures. Application of SODAR for the wind profiling, resulted in images with good agreements to surface anemometer data. The instrument shows good performance during late morning and early afternoon hours. The Multiple Antenna Profiler Radar (MAPR) is an advanced ultrahigh frequency boundary layer profiler, capable to measure horizontal winds every 1-5 minutes and vertical winds on even shorter time scale.
