  1. POLIS – Portable Lidar System High Resolution Cloud Top Height Measurements using an Airborne Lidar System during BBC 2 Campaign May 2003 Birgit Heese Meteorological Institute University of Munich (MIM)

  2. POLIS – Portable Lidar System Airborne campaign BBC 2 onbord the Do 228 (NERC) in collaboration with FU Berlin May 5 – 10, 2003

  3. POLIS – Portable Lidar System High resolution cloud top height measurements Single pulse measurements were performed at a repetition frequency of the laser of 5 Hz horizontal resolution is about 16 m (plane velocity ~ 80 m/s) vertical resolution of 7.5 m

  4. POLIS – Portable Lidar System Cloud top height at a distance of 1227 m from the plane Single pulse lidar profile The lidar signal is not range corrected! flight level

  5. POLIS – Portable Lidar System Ground return of the lidar signal at a distance of 3646 m from the plane Cloud top heightfrom former picture is at 2369 m Single pulse lidar profile flight level The lidar signal is not range corrected!

  6. POLIS – Portable Lidar System Available Datasets Flights took place on May 6, 7, and 10, 2003 May 6: 14:06:37:36 – 14:31:04:77 (1 pulse) May 7: 11:40:48 – 11:47:40 (200 pulses) Aerosol measurements 12:34:32 – 13:18:56 (200 pulses) 13:23:58:16 – 14:34:33:56 (1 pulse) May 10: 12:22:26:10 – 12:22:35:32 (1 pulse) 12:35:32:25 – 14:48:34:09 (1 pulse) 2nd flight: 16:22:27:47 – 17:05:08:41 (1 pulse)

  7. POLIS – Portable Lidar System Some views out of the plane Cabauw site Clouds on May 10, 2003

  8. POLIS – Portable Lidar System flight level ! 1000 profiles: Not all details are resolved Lidar Backscatter Signal on May 10, 2003 These lidar signals are range-corrected!

  9. POLIS – Portable Lidar System Lidar Backscatter Signal – Cloud Top Height 200 profiles

  10. POLIS – Portable Lidar System flight level ! Flying into a cloud

  11. POLIS – Portable Lidar System Data Type Calculation of the cloud top height from Lidar profiles and navigation data (flight altitude, coordinates) will be stored in the database Quicklook plots in the form as shown in this presenstation can also be provided. Lidar profiles themselves are not of much use for the BBC community If there are any other requirements, please write to: heese@meteo.physik.uni-muenchen.de
