Abstract

Sodar provides round-the-clock information about the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). However, computer-based extraction of relevant ABL information from sodar data calls for techniques of image processing to remove the inherent noise. Kalman filter is employed as an alternative methodology to extract the ABL. Thus, it becomes possible to bypass the time-consuming image processing steps, making it faster for real time interpretation of atmospheric conditions from ABL. The technique compares well with the performance of the image processing technique.
