    Area of Science:

    • Atmospheric Science
    • Remote Sensing
    • Geophysics

    Background:

    • Accurate detection of aerosol and cloud layer boundaries is crucial for atmospheric research and climate studies.
    • Existing lidar data processing methods face limitations in defining layer boundaries, setting optimal window sizes, and accounting for in-layer attenuation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an improved algorithm for automatic detection of aerosol and cloud layer base and top using up-looking lidar data.
    • To overcome limitations of previous methods, including window-size dependency and in-layer attenuation neglect.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel layer detection scheme based on linear segmentation is proposed.
    • The algorithm incorporates strategies for threshold setting, boundary selection, and false positive removal.
    • It is designed to be directly applicable to uncalibrated lidar data without requiring additional measurements or window size selections.

    Main Results:

    • The new algorithm demonstrates comparable accuracy to existing methods for layer-base detection.
    • It shows superior accuracy in detecting the layer-top compared to the simple multi-scale method.
    • Preliminary results from both real and simulated lidar data validate the algorithm's performance.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented linear segmentation-based algorithm offers a robust and accurate solution for detecting aerosol and cloud layer boundaries.
    • Its ability to handle uncalibrated data and improved layer-top detection makes it a valuable advancement in lidar data processing.
    • This method enhances the utility of lidar data for environmental and climate studies.
