Resumo
The BIOgenic emissions, chemistry and impacts in the MetropolitAn Region of São Paulo (BIOMASP+)
is a Brazil-France scientific collaboration project, coordinated by the Instituto de Astronomia, Geofísica
e Ciências Atmosféricas (IAG) of University of São Paulo (USP) and the Laboratoire de Météorologie
Physique (LaMP) of the Observatoire de Physique du Globe de Clermont-Ferrand (OPGC), with the
main objective of characterizing urban emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (B-VOC) in
the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (RMSP). Knowledge of the properties of the urban boundary layer
(UBL) is essential to describe the vertical distribution and dispersion mechanisms of B-VOCs in the
atmosphere. This work presents two UBL height comparisons. Firstly, it was performed a comparison
between the UBL height provided by two different methodologies: elastic lidar data and the Weather
Research and Forecasting (WRF) model (Solar-WRF, 4 nested grids, of 27, 9, 3 and 1 km), which was
centered at lidar location (23.560° S; 46.752° W). Then, the UBL height provided by the elastic lidar
was compared with WRF results centered a Cotia (23. 391° S; 46.589° W), a semi-rural region, in order
to evaluate the horizontal UBL height variation in the RMSP. 34 cases (days) (between April 11 and
July 11, 2023) were analyzed, so that in the absence of significant meteorological disturbances, there
is a significative level of agreement between the values estimated through lidar data and WRF in
both regions. Such a results demonstrates as WRF can provided reliable UBL height, and in addition
they reinforce the hypothesis that, in the most urbanized fraction of the RMSP, there is little spatial
variability in UBL height during the convective period.
