Abstract

The altitude of atmospheric medium involved in atmospheric optics has a height range of 100km, and the most complicated variation of atmospheric properties is mainly in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). The variety of ABL height is of considerable significance to the distribution of aerosol, cloud, and other processes. Since the research of Chinese marine ABL analysis is limited, in this study, we improved the algorithm by using 532nm total attenuated backscattering (TAB) for retrieving atmospheric boundary layer height (ABLH) from Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) and verified the results gained from micro-pulse lidar (MPL) and radiosonde over the South China Sea. Finally, we used the validated ABLH algorithm model to retrieve the ABLH against CALIPSO data from Mar. 2018 to Feb.2019 over the South China Sea.
