Fiber optic distributed temperature sensing for the determination of the nocturnal atmospheric boundary layer height

A new method for measuring air temperature profiles in the atmospheric boundary layer at high spatial and temporal resolution is presented. The measurements are based on Raman scattering distributed temperature sensing (DTS) with a fiber optic cable attached to a tethered balloon. These data were us...
