Application of Convective Condensation Level Limiter in Convective Boundary Layer Height Retrieval Based on Lidar Data

Micro pulse lidar is a promising tool for retrieving the convective boundary layer height (CBLH), but its application has been hindered by sharp extinction of the signal in high humidity conditions, e.g., clouds. To remedy this, we developed an effective and simple limiter to obtain more accurate es...
