LASER RADAR SYSTEM FOR THE CHARACTERIZATION OF BOUNDARY LAYER METEOROLOGY USING MODIFIED WAVELET COVARIANCE TRANSFORM

Lidar is an acronym of Light Detection and Ranging. It is also called as “laser radar”. Lidar remote sensing is a complicated procedure with many factors involved (both humancontrollable and non-controllable). It is difficult to imagine what happens from a simple lidar theory. Using the MATLAB platform, lidar data architecture is decoded, raw signal is retrieved and later subjected to signal analysis. The PBL is the lowest layer of atmosphere that locates in troposphere. The PBL is close to the surface that characterized by turbulence, where the large-scale atmospheric flow controls the wind. PBL is the part of the troposphere that is directly influenced by the presence of earth’s surface. In this paper an efficient method, the wavelet covariance transform is presented with some modifications to the transform is presented.
