Abstract

On the behalf of the Maryland Air Management Administration, lidar measurements are being made of the daytime evolution of Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) height over Prince Georges County, MD. This paper describes the first week of observations, August 3-10, 1992. Data were taken most days around 11:00 AM (EDT), and in the afternoon when the lidar was available at various times. The PBL heights cited here are given in meters above the Goddard lidar station altitude which, in turn, is 65 meters above sea level. Coordinates at GSFC are approximately 39°00'N by 76°251'W.
