Boundary layer temperature measurements of a noctual urban boundary layer

Boundary layer temperature measurements of a noctual urban boundary layer

A low-power lidar system based in Manchester, United Kingdom has been developed to measure temperature profiles in the nocturnal urban boundary layer. The lidar transmitter uses a 355nm diode-pumped solid state Nd:YAG laser and two narrow-band interference filters in the receiver filter out rotation...
