Abstract:

In this paper, we present the preliminary methods for detection of the boundary layer based on backscattered signals from a mobile LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) developed at Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) National Laser Centre (NLC), Pretoria (25.5° S; 28.2° E), South Africa. We have concentrated on two different methods, such as (a) statistical and (b) slope. The preliminary study concludes that the statistical method provides a reasonable temporal evolution of the boundary layer height in comparison with the slope method.
