Lidar heights (in progress)
Heights from the lidar can be accessed in the table below. The lidar
tends to pick out the inversion base.
Comparisons of aircraft profiles with lidar runs were done (June 7,
19, 23, 29).
I adapted Linda Strom's routines, which she was kind enough to share
with me, which select the peak of backscatter gradient as the BL height.
Mostly I just made them run faster; Linda did the lion's share of developing
them.
I will extract the other flight's heights soon.
Go to June 07 to see how upward & downward looking heights compare.
