Estimating the urban atmospheric boundary layer height from remote sensing applying machine learning techniques

Gregori de Arruda Moreira et al.

Summary: This study proposes a new methodology to estimate Atmospheric Boundary Layer Height (ABLH) using the machine learning algorithm Gradient Boosting Regression Tree. The proposed algorithm utilizes a first estimation of ABLH derived from a ceilometer signal and meteorological variables. The model's configuration and inputs are analyzed to prevent overfitting and ensure applicability. The ABLH values obtained from the algorithm are compared to those derived from a microwave radiometer, showing a daily pattern and seasonal variability. The model has been validated in different situations, confirming its good performance.

A new theoretical model deriving planetary boundary layer height in desert regions and its application on dust devil emissions

Jiaxin Li et al.

Summary: Planetary boundary layer height (PBLH) is a crucial factor for dust storms and dust devils in desert regions. Existing parameterization schemes have limitations in reflecting the diurnal cycles of PBLH in these areas, which affects global dust-aerosol emission evaluation. A new theoretical model based on the heating effect of dust aerosols and the vertical profile of virtual potential temperature is developed, and successfully parameterized using observations in northern China. The new scheme shows better agreement with observations compared to existing schemes, and provides improved evaluation of dust-devil emissions.

Wei Wang et al.

Summary: This study aims to produce an hourly PM2.5 map for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region using a space-time LME (STLME) model based on Himawari-8 image aerosol retrievals.

Technical note: First comparison of wind observations from ESA's satellite mission Aeolus and ground-based radar wind profiler network of China

Jianping Guo et al.

Summary: The Aeolus wind products were validated against wind observations from the radar wind profiler (RWP) network in China. It was found that the Aeolus Mie-cloudy winds are consistent with RWP winds in most areas of eastern China, except for the coastal areas where the Aeolus Rayleigh-clear winds are more reliable. Overall, the correlation coefficient R between the Mie-cloudy (Rayleigh-clear) wind and RWP wind component observations is 0.94 (0.81), indicating good agreement between Aeolus wind products and RWP wind observations in China.
