Convective boundary layer sensible and latent heat flux lidar observations and towards new model parametrizations

Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics 2022-11-17 v1

Abstract

Model parametrizations in the convective boundary layer are still at work especially in the interfacial layers with the surface and the free troposphere. The present paper reports simultaneous turbulence-scale lidar observations of wind speed, temperature and specific humidity in the convective boundary layer in temperate and semi-arid regions. The collected data are used to assess new parametrizations in particular in the entrainment layer.
