Summary This paper presents a brief synopsis of past, current and anticipated progress and problems in the use of acoustic remote
sensing for basic and applied research of the lower atmosphere. The potential and reality of the sodar for determination of
meteorological parameters and turbulence characteristics is discussed. Sodars’ place alongside other ground-based remote sensors,
including radar wind profilers, radioacoustic sounding systems (RASS) and lidars, is elucidated. Areas of atmospheric research
where Doppler sodar has certain advantages are described such as cost, sensitivity, spatial and temporal resolution and surface
layer measurements. The use of sodar in networks of integrated radar/RASS systems designed to supply uninterrupted monitoring
of atmospheric parameters for improvements in forecasts of weather and air quality is demonstrated.
The special potential role of sodar in education and training of specialists is suggested to aid in developing and using new
methods of atmospheric measurements and meeting the requirements of modern environmental science.
A number of problems are formulated whose solution would favor further advancement of acoustic remote sensing in integrated
systems for remote monitoring of the atmospheric boundary layer.

Summary ?Progress in technology as well as signal processing has promoted Wind Profiler Radar (WPR) or sodar with RASS additions to become standard tools in profiling of the atmospheric boundary layer. Apart from
these instruments’ basic abilities in profiling mean winds and temperature, this paper will give an emphasis on the profiling
of ABL height as well as the turbulent fluxes of sensible heat and momentum both, with respect to methods as well as with
respect to realization. The special focus will thereby be laid on the demands for vertical profiling, which were defined within
the LITFASS-project of the German Meteorological Service. In the frame of this project, some special measuring campaigns have
been performed where remote-sensing systems were used to assess their abilities in profiling ABL parameters. On the base of
some case studies from these campaigns comparisons are shown, where results from sodar/RASS and WPR/RASS measurements are
compared to measurements from airborne sensor systems and results from numerical models. Regarding turbulent heat fluxes,
we found excellent agreement for remotely-sensed flux profiles from WPR/RASS with both, numerical models and airborne in-situ
measurements. However, as the inherent errors of the remotely-sensed fluxes are in the order of ± 20 ⋯ 30 W/m2 typically, current signal processing does not allow to interpret small-scale vertical structures in the profiles with respect
to surface inhomogeneities yet.

Since 2006 different remote monitoring methods for determining mixing-layer height have been operated in parallel in Augsburg
(Germany). One method is based on the operation of eye-safe commercial mini-lidar systems (ceilometers). The optical backscatter
intensities recorded with ceilometers provide information about the range-dependent aerosol concentration; gradient minima
within this profile mark the tops of mixed layers. Special software for these ceilometers provides routine retrievals of lower
atmospheric layering. A second method, based on sodar observations, detects the height of a turbulent layer characterized
by high acoustic backscatter intensities due to thermal fluctuations and a high variance of the vertical velocity component.
This information is extended by measurements with a radio-acoustic sounding system (RASS) that directly provides the vertical
temperature profile from the detection of acoustic signal propagation and thus temperature inversions that mark atmospheric
layers. Ceilometer backscatter information is evaluated by comparison with parallel measurements. Data are presented from
2 years of combined ceilometer and RASS measurements at the same site and from comparison with a nearby (60 km) radiosonde
for larger-scale humidity information. This evaluation is designed to ensure mixing-layer height monitoring from ceilometer
data more reliable. 相似文献

Summary Air quality forecasting and emergency response are receiving increasing emphasis in the US and elsewhere; both share similar but not identical needs for advanced meteorological observations. At the same time, there has been a steady increase in the performance characteristics of ground-based remote sensing systems as well as ground-based and airborne in situ measurement systems. The structure of the planetary boundary layer is summarized in the context of implications for transport and diffusion, along with the measurement requirements for dispersion modeling. We then review the current state-of-the-art of operational and quasi-operational measurement systems with a focus on boundary layer measurements. Measurement systems discussed include: meteorological radar, radar wind profilers, radio acoustic sounding systems, lidar, sodar, GPS receivers, microwave radiometers, radiosonde systems, commercial aircraft measurements, and traditional near-surface in situ sensors. 相似文献

Some characteristics of wavelike motions in the atmospheric boundary layer observed by sodar are considered. In an experiment
carried out in February 1993 in Milan, Italy, Doppler sodar measurements were accompanied by in situ measurements of temperature
and wind velocity vertical profiles using a tethered balloon up to 600 m. The oscillations of elevated wavy layers containing
intense thermal turbulence, usually associated with temperature-inversion zones, were studied by using correlation and spectral
analysis methods. The statistics of the occurrence of wavelike and temperature-inversion events are presented. The height
distributions of Brunt–Vaisala frequency and wind shear and their correlation within elevated inversion layers were determined,
with a strong correlation observed between the drift rate of the wavy layers and the vertical velocity measured by Doppler
sodar inside these layers. Spectral analysis showed similarities regarding their frequency characteristics. The phase speed
and propagation direction of waves were estimated from the time delay of the signals at three antennae to provide estimates
of wavelength. Moreover, wavelengths were estimated from the intrinsic frequency obtained from sodar measurements of the Doppler
vertical velocity and oscillations of wavy turbulent layers. The two wavelength estimates are in good agreement. 相似文献

In this work, the thermic structure of the atmospheric boundary layer is analyzed by means of direct measurements with radiosonde equipment, remote exploration with a three-monostatic Doppler sodar, and a boundary layer model of order one-and-a-half. Intercomparisons of radiosonde data, sodar data, and model results are made through the study of radiative nocturnal inversion, subsidence inversion, development and height of the mixing layer, and calculus of the temperature structure parameter. The ability of sodar to find the mixing layer height and to detect stable layers is enhanced when these layers are low enough. 相似文献

Summary At a special measuring site for boundary-layer studies as well as land-surface processes the Meteorological Observatory Lindenberg
of the German Weather Service (DWD) has recently put into operation a newly-desi gned phased-array SODAR/RASS, which has been
developed by METEK on behalf of the DWD. This system provides the vertical profiles of the three-di mensional wind vector
in the boundary layer on an operational basis and is furthermore suitable for getting information on the profile of virtual
temperature up to about 400 m in height based on the addition of RASS components. The following paper describes both the technique
of this SODAR/RASS and the various modes of operation as well as the different options in managing the system. First evaluations
on the data availability concerning the maximum height coverage will give an impression on the system’s capabilities. Finally,
the accuracy of the derived profiles of winds and temperature will be investigated by means of comparisons of the SODAR/RASS
data with measurements of a six-sonde tethered-balloon system as well as meteorological data of a 99 m tower in the vicinity
of the system.

Measurements in the atmospheric surface layer are generally made with point sensors located in the first few tens of metres.
In most cases, however, these measurements are not representative of the whole surface layer. Standard Doppler sodars allow
a continuous display of the turbulent thermal structure and wind profiles in the boundary layer up to 1000 m, with a few points,
if any, in the surface layer. To overcome these limitations a new sodar configuration is proposed that allows for a higher
resolution in the surface layer. Because of its capabilities (echo recording starting at 2 m, echo intensity vertical resolution
of approximately 2 m, temporal resolution of 1 s) this sodar is called the surface-layer mini-sodar (SLM-sodar). Features
and capabilities of the SLM-sodar are described and compared with the sodar. The comparison of the thermal vertical structure
given by the SLM-sodar and the sodar provides evidence that, in most cases, the surface layer presents a level of complexity
comparable to that of the entire boundary layer. Considering its high vertical resolution, the SLM-sodar is a promising system
for the study of the nocturnal surface layer. The nocturnal SLM-sodar measurements have shown that, depending on wind speed,
the structure of the surface layer may change substantially within a short time period. At night, when the wind speed is greater
than 3 m s−1, mechanical mixing destroys the wavy structure present in the nocturnal layer. Sonic anemometer measurements have shown that,
in such cases, also the sensible heat flux varies with height, reaching a peak in correspondence with the wind speed peak.
Under these conditions the assumption of horizontal homogeneity of the surface layer and the choice of the averaging time
need to be carefully treated. 相似文献

The quality of lidar and sodar wind estimates is generally judged through comparisons with mast-mounted instruments, and the
resulting regressions. Evaluation of the relative merits of lidars versus sodars is complicated by the fact that lidars are
generally placed close to a mast whereas sodars are generally placed some distance from a mast so that acoustic reflections
off the mast are reduced. This leads to the two technologies, lidar and sodar, not being compared in similar situations. Differences
arising from the two geometries can be expected to be larger in complex terrain, where the wind regime can vary significantly
spatially. The current work explores these differences in moderately complex terrain. Lidar–mast comparisons are performed
with the lidar close to an 80 m mast, and sodar–mast comparisons performed with the sodar 300 m from the mast. Systematic
variations in estimated wind speed are found to occur with height, consistent with predictions from a simple flow model. When
the lidar was moved to the sodar location, further from the mast, there were significant changes in the estimated wind speeds
and a reduction in correlation with the mast-based wind speeds, as expected. However, the correlation between collocated lidar and sodar winds was high. This finding emphasizes that any comparison of two remote sensing instruments needs to be
through similar experiments, and that differences in accuracy often reported for the lidar and sodar technologies are likely
to be contaminated due to poor comparison configurations. A method was devised to simulate the sodar being collocated with
the mast, by using the lidar–sodar measurements and the lidar–mast measurements. It was found that there was then no statistically
detectable difference between lidar–mast regressions and sodar–mast regressions for the particular lidar and sodar tested.
Both remote sensing instruments were also found to be good estimators of Weibull parameters, as compared with those derived
from mast data. The conclusion is that the sodar measured the winds above the sodar with a similar accuracy to the lidar measuring
winds above the lidar. 相似文献

Potential sonic temperature profiles from a continuous electromagnetic, pulsed acoustic, radio acoustic sounding system (RASS) were compared with profiles recorded by a commercially available temperature, relative humidity and pressure recorder mounted in a radio-controlled model motor-glider. The glider profiles covered the period of the morning transition in the lowest 200 m of an initially stably stratified boundary layer. Comparison of the profiles shows that the sonic temperature can be calculated based on the average speed of sound in the boundary layer; this removes the need to correct for vertical velocity in each temperature profile, thus avoiding the possibility of contaminating the temperatures with measurement noise from the vertical velocity profiles. Further, the low-level cold bias that occurs with the spatially separated transmit and receive antennas of a bistatic RASS system was not significant for the present measurements as the separation between the antennas was minimised. The comparison of RASS and glider temperatures gives confidence in the use of RASS-derived temperatures for investigating the performance of boundary layer models. 相似文献

Summary Within the Mesoscale Alpine Programme MAP conducted in autumn 1999, the vertical structure and the temporal evolution of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) in the Rhine Valley 2km south of Lake Constance were observed with a Remtech PA2 sodar (sound-detection-and-ranging instrument) rendering half-hour averages of the three-dimensional wind profile within the lowest kilometre above ground. During Foehn events, tethered balloon soundings and wind profiler measurements were conducted in addition to the rawinsonde network which was built up for the MAP field campaign.The remote sensing instrument renders a surprisingly high number of valid data during south Foehn. Due to the frequent formation of a cold air pool with stable conditions below the Foehn flow with near-neutral static stability, even more sodar data is valid during Foehn periods than during no Foehn periods. A significant reduction of the sodar data quality is only observed during Foehn events with grounding of the Foehn at the sodar site due to high background noise. At higher levels, a Foehn signal can be detected from the sodar wind and turbulence intensitiy information. With Foehn, higher wind speeds and larger turbulence intensities occur than without Foehn. Comparisons to rawinsonde and tethersonde soundings and wind profiler measurements at sites nearby reveal the spatial inhomogeneity of the Foehn flow within this part of the valley as well as instrumental short-comings. Different methods to determine the mixing height using the vertical sounding devices lead to some uncertainty of mixing height estimates which however can reasonably be explained. 相似文献

Discussed are the results of applying a dynamic stochastic method based on the use of the two-dimensional model and the Kalman filtering algorithm for solving the problem of the very short-range (from 0.5 to 6 hours) fore cast of air temperature and orthogonal components of the wind speed in the atmospheric boundary layer realized using the data of radio metric, sodar, and in creased-frequency radiosonde measurements. It is demonstrated that the pro posed technique and the appropriate algorithm give a rather high ac cu racy of very short-range fore casting of temperature and wind within the lead time range under consideration. 相似文献

Results are represented of comparison of temperature profiles obtained using the remote MTP-5 profilers and radiosondes in
three towns: Nizhni Novgorod, Dolgoprudny, and Orenburg in 2004–2006. The comparisons carried out for three types of profiles,
namely, for adiabatic type and for surface and raised inversions demonstrated that the MTP-5 instrument registers reliably
the temperature profile type. The best coincidence of profiles is observed in the lower 200-m layer. The mean square deviation
of the difference of temperature values from the measurements of MTP-5 and radiosonde in the altitude interval of 0–600 m
is within the range of 0.9–1.4°C. 相似文献

In-situ sodar and lidar measurements were coupled with numerical simulations for studying a sea-breeze event in a flat coastal
area of the North Sea. The study’s aims included the recognition of the dynamics of a sea-breeze structure, and its effects
on the lower troposphere stratification and the three-dimensional (3D) pollutant distribution. A sea breeze was observed with
ground-based remote sensing instruments and analysed by means of numerical simulations using the 3D non-hydrostatic atmospheric
model Meso-NH. The vertical structure of the lower troposphere was experimentally determined from the lidar and sodar measurements,
while numerical simulations focused on the propagation of the sea breeze inland. The sea-breeze front, the headwind, the thermal
internal boundary layer, the gravity current and the sea-breeze circulation were observed and analysed. The development of
a late stratification was also observed by the lidar and simulated by the model, suggesting the formation of a stable multilayered
structure. The transport of passive tracers inside the sea breeze and their redistribution above the gravity current was simulated
too. Numerical modelling showed that local pollutants may travel backward to the sea above the gravity current at relatively
low speed due to the shearing between the landward gravity current and the seaward synoptic wind. Such dynamic conditions
may enhance an accumulation of pollutants above coastal industrial areas. 相似文献

Summary A wind‐profiling Doppler radar equipped with a radio acoustic sounding system (RASS) may be used to estimate the vertical
profile of the vertical flux of heat in the atmosphere. Simultaneous measurements of the time‐varying temperature and vertical
air velocity are combined to give the convective heat flux using the eddy‐correlation method. The accuracy of the estimates
depends on the fundamental accuracy of the temperature and vertical velocity measurements. Also, in common with all eddy‐correlation
methods, uncertainties are introduced by the need to define a suitable averaging time and to remove trends. A problem unique
to RASS is the possible presence of ground and intermittent clutter at close ranges, which can cause errors in the vertical
air velocity measurements. These considerations are discussed with particular reference to observations using a UHF radar
wind profiler situated in an urban environment, where clutter is a serious problem.
A Rank‐Order Signal Processing Algorithm (ROSPA) for recognizing and eliminating outliers in the vertical velocity, is introduced.
It is explained how ROSPA uses both a minimum filter and a median filter on the velocity data. It is shown, using a comparison
with nearly clutter free data from a rural site, that the filtering substantially improves the quality of the noisy urban
data. The paper then compares RASS‐measured urban and rural heat flux profiles, along with the heat flux profile measured
by an instrumented airplane. It is concluded that the main obstacles to RASS heat flux measurements are the effects of winds
and turbulence in the boundary layer, rather than clutter.

A Doppler sodar system controlled by microcomputer is described in this paper. The sodar was usedto detect the vertical distribution of wind and temperature stratification in the atmospheric boundary layer.The detecting results show that at night the vertical distribution of wind is very complicated, which can appearas a structure of two or three layers. In nocturnal atmospheric boundary layer sometimes there exists verythin layer in multi-layer inversion and it can be retained for a long time. 相似文献
