1 4th Symposium on Lidar Atmospheric Applications
4.4 Short time fluctuations of the convective boundary layer height and entrainment observed with Doppler lidar K. Träumner, A. Wieser, Ch. Kottmeier and U. Corsmeier Institute for Meteorology and Climate Research, KIT Karlsruhe, Germany 4.4 Short time fluctuations of the convective boundary layer height and entrainment observed with Doppler lidar K. Träumner, A. Wieser, C. Kottmeier and U. Corsmeier

2 Questions, which will be addressed
Is it possible to visualize and identify different entrainment mechanisms in the atmospheric boundary layer? What is the entrainment zone? Are small-scale boundary layer height fluctuations linked to the current wind field? Is there a correlation between entrainment velocity and entrainment zone thickness? 4.4 Short time fluctuations of the convective boundary layer height and entrainment observed with Doppler lidar K. Träumner, A. Wieser, C. Kottmeier and U. Corsmeier

Introduction Entrainment Small-scale fluctuations Diurnal increase CBL 1 hour 5 to 22 UTC Kurz was zum Entrainment Schlagwörter – was ist bekannt, wo ist Bedarf? Was haben wir gemacht? Using the 2 µm Doppler lidar an aerosol backscatter as well as vertical wind information are available. We use the CSIP, 2005 data set (gently rolling terrain) 4.4 Short time fluctuations of the convective boundary layer height and entrainment observed with Doppler lidar K. Träumner, A. Wieser, C.

7 Concepts of entrainment zone thickness (EZT)
Statistical concepts vs transition zone Kurz was Entrainmentzone ist strongly correlated transition zone is mostly wider all approaches show variations during the day, but no typical diurnal cycle 4.4 Short time fluctuations of the convective boundary layer height and entrainment observed with Doppler lidar K.

8 Relationship between EZT and BLH

10 Correlation vertical wind
no simple correlation connecting BLH lifting to updraft and vice versa deformation due to thermals variations reflect processes the air mass experienced upstreams 4.4 Short time fluctuations of the convective boundary layer height and entrainment observed with Doppler lidar K.

Entrainment velocity Δh/h 4.4 Short time fluctuations of the convective boundary layer height and entrainment observed with Doppler lidar K. Träumner, A. Wieser, C. Kottmeier and U. Corsmeier

12 K. Träumner, A. Wieser, C. Kottmeier and U. Corsmeier
Conclusions Results from laboratory studies and simulations were comparable to atmospheric boundary layer measurements It is possible to visualize different entrainment processes using Doppler lidar Statistically concepts and the transition zone concept of the EZT differ but are correlated; mixing, and so entrainment, reaches deeper than varying tops of BLH There is no general relationship between EZT and BLH BLH short-time fluctuations are in principle not linked to the current vertical wind field There is a relationship between entrainment velocity and EZT 4.4 Short time fluctuations of the convective boundary layer height and entrainment observed with Doppler lidar K.
