Lidar System
• Lidar (Light Detection And Range) measures the intensity of backscattered light as a function of distance
• The primary contribution of scattering is from aerosol particles suspended in the air

Analyze Lidar Backscatter for PBL Heights
• Boundary layer usually has much higher aerosol concentration than free troposphere above.
• The significant change in the backscatter across the top of the BL provides a means of determining PBL heights.
• Wavelet provides a scale-dependent approach to determine PBL height.

The key of the wavelet analysis is the selection of an appropriatedilation (vertical scale).

Compare PBL heights of Lidar measured and Model predicted
• Lidar measures aerosol layers
• Model determines vertical mixing based on some meteorological parameters, such as temperature and wind field

Compare Lidar Backscatter and CMAQ Extinction Coefficient
• Hourly and vertical averaged Lidar Backscatter signal
• Hourly extinction coefficient of CMAQ outputs
• A qualitative comparison; both backscatter and extinction coefficient reflect the aerosol and humidity loading in the atmosphere

Summary• A wavelet technique is applied to analyze the
PBL height using lidar backscatter measured in New York City
• WRF/CMAQ forecast system keeps track the lidar measured PBL development well
• WRF/CMAQ forecast system predicted the vertical PM profile (in terms of extinction coefficient) resemble to the backscatter vertical profile under cloud free conditions
• Development in the areas that we can directly compare the aerosol optical products between Lidar and model.
