Objective Analyze Lidar Backscatter to determine PBL Heights using Wavelet method Demonstrate the potential of applying Lidar Backscatter in the air quality forecast evaluation

Data Lidar measured backscatter signal PBL heights and aerosol extinction coefficients out of WRF/CMAQ air quality forecast system

Lidar System Lidar (Light Detection And Range) measures the intensity of backscattered light as a function of distance The primary contribution of scattering is from aerosol particles suspended in the air

Lidar Backscatter C: calibration constant β: backscatter coefficient α: extinction coefficient

Modeling Domain

Analyze Lidar Backscatter for PBL Heights Boundary layer usually has much higher aerosol concentration than free troposphere above. The significant change in the backscatter across the top of the BL provides a means of determining PBL heights. Wavelet provides a scale-dependent approach to determine PBL height.

Wavelet Covariance Transform

The key of the wavelet analysis is the selection of an appropriate dilation (vertical scale).

Compare PBL heights of Lidar measured and Model predicted Lidar measures aerosol layers Model determines vertical mixing based on some meteorological parameters, such as temperature and wind field

Compare Lidar Backscatter and CMAQ Extinction Coefficient Hourly and vertical averaged Lidar Backscatter signal Hourly extinction coefficient of CMAQ outputs A qualitative comparison; both backscatter and extinction coefficient reflect the aerosol and humidity loading in the atmosphere
