Profiling of aerosol, water vapor and temperature in the boundary layer during TEAMx pre campaign 2022 and Swabian MOSES 2023 with a Raman-lidar at a high temporal resolution

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the performance of a Raman lidar in measuring aerosol and temperature in the boundary layer under varying weather conditions.
• Conducted two measurement campaigns in Innsbruck (2022) and Villingen-Schwenningen (2023)
• Utilized Raman lidar technology for high temporal resolution data
• Combined lidar data with a vertical wind profiler to assess turbulent processes
• Demonstrated the instrument's ability to measure aerosol and temperature profiles effectively
• Identified limitations related to changing weather conditions
• Facilitated insights into turbulent processes and vertical energy fluxes in the boundary layer
