TL;DR: In this paper, a long-term study of PBL top heights and PBL growth rates in South Africa was conducted using ground-based and satellite LIDAR measurements, and the results indicated that the ECMWF model agreed the best with mean relative difference of 15.4%, while the second best correlation was with the SAWS model with corresponding difference of 20.1%.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed two inter-comparison campaigns to investigate the Doppler lidar performance, compare the backscatter signal and wind profiles, and to optimize the lidar sensitivity through adjusting the telescope focus length and data-integration time to ensure sufficient signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in low-aerosol-content environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low hygroscopic scattering enhancement of boreal aerosol and the implications for a columnar optical closure study

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results of an intensive field campaign carried out in summer 2013 at the SMEAR II station at Hyytiala, Finland, where ground-based and airborne measurements of aerosol optical, chemical and microphysical properties were conducted.
One year of Raman lidar observations of free tropospheric aerosol layers over
