You can view mixing layer height (MLH) data or profile data in BL-View.

  1. To view boundary layer data, select MLH data and see Legend, which includes:
    • Mixing layer: the height of the mixing layer
    • 1h average: 1-hour average mixing layer height. The information is updated every hour.
    • Elevated layer 1 and Elevated layer 2: elevated aerosol layers

    For MLH data, the available intensity view is ABS.

  2. The following markings are used.
    1
    Sunrise indicator (yellow)
    2
    Sunset indicator (black)
    3
    Cloud base heights (blue dots)
    4
    Boundary layer heights (dark red/yellow/green) and elevated layers (gray)
    5
    Signal from clouds and precipitation (red)
    6
    Aerosol backscatter signal (light blue to yellow)
    7
    1-hour average mixing layer height (black lines)
    With a live plot, if a valid parameter is not correctly measured, its value is replaced with 2 slash characters (//).
  3. To view the whole profile with cloud base data, select Profile data.

    The available intensity views are: ABS, LDR, XPOL, and PPOL.
