In BL-View, the boundary layer information is illustrated on the screen as density plots. You can create plots to view and analyze live and archive data. Each new plot opens as a new tab.
The panel on the right displays the following information:
- Data lets you select between mixing layer height data (MLH data) and Profile data.
- For live plots: Current values shows the boundary layer and cloud base height in the density plot that is currently open.
- For archive plots: Legend shows the boundary layer and cloud base markers. Height information is not available.
- Intensity shows the intensity scale for the displayed boundary layer information in backscatter or negative gradient view.
- Navigator shows which section of the plot is currently displayed.
- Information shows the selected algorithm parameters and the update status.
| If you choose to view profile data, Current values / Legend shows only cloud base information and Information does not show algorithm information. |
The following markers are used in the graphs:
- Dark red/yellow/green rectangles: Boundary layer heights. The colors indicate the quality of the data.
- Blue line: 1-hour average mixing layer height.
- Gray rectangles: Additional boundary layer heights (elevated layers).
- Blue dots: Cloud base heights.
