Resumo
The Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) is a relevant part of the atmosphere with a variable extension that clearly
plays an important role in fields like air quality or weather forecasting. Passive and active remote sensing
systems have been widely applied to analyze PBL characteristics. The combination of different remote sensing
techniques allows obtaining a complete picture on the PBL dynamic. In this study, we analyze the PBL using
microwave radiometer, elastic lidar and Doppler lidar data. We use co-located data simultaneously gathered in
the framework of SLOPE-I (Sierra Nevada Lidar aerOsol Profiling Experiment) campaign at Granada (Spain)
during a 90- day period in summer 2016. Firstly, the PBL height (PBLH) obtained from microwave radiometer
data is validated against PBLH provided by analyzing co-located radiosondes, showing a good agreement. In a
second stage, active remote sensing systems are used for deriving the PBLH. Thus, an extended Kalman filter
method is applied to data obtained by the elastic lidar while the vertical wind speed variance method is applied
to the Doppler lidar. PBLH′s derived by these approaches are compared to PBLH retrieved by the microwave
radiometer. The results show a good agreement among these retrievals based on active remote sensing in most of
the cases, although some discrepancies appear in instances of intense PBL changes (either growth and/or decrease).
