Statistical Characteristics of Cloud Heights over Lanzhou, China from Multiple Years of Micro-Pulse Lidar Observation

Statistical Characteristics of Cloud Heights over Lanzhou, China from Multiple Years of Micro-Pulse Lidar Observation

The macroscopic characteristics of clouds over Lanzhou, China were investigated using micro-pulse lidar data from September 2005 to November 2011. The results show that the mean of the cloud base height, cloud peak height, cloud top height and cloud thickness during the observation was 4.03 km, 4.81...
