The Planetary Boundary Layer: Looking at Signal-to-Noise Ratios and Wind Profiler Data
December 17, 2014
We used two methods to calculate the approximate height of the Planetary Boundary Layer (the lowermost part of the troposphere, which is the lowermost part of all the atmospheric layers). Our first method was using Wind Profiler data. Our second; Signal-to-Noise Ratios. Explanations and procedures for both are explained on our poster. http://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/seminar3posters/files/gravity_forms/1-f14ea90e75361cb91bd42582a860ee01/2014/12/Final-Poster.pdf Katira Campos, […]

Project MERRA
December 17, 2014
The Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications reanalyzes previous satellite data (from 1979-present) and puts it into a “climate context.” For our project, we measured the Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) on clear days from March to September in 2010. The PBL is the lowest part of the atmosphere and is affected by planetary conditions. […]
