The MLH can be retrieved from the TKEDR estimated by the CDWL via setting an appropriate threshold. Here, the value of threshold is determined by a reference MLH retrieved from aerosol backscattered signal. The threshold of 10\u22124 m2 s\u22123 is found to be applicable in retrieving both inland and marine MLHs. In the experiments, to validate the reliability of the constant threshold, the MLH diurnal cycles at inland and marine sites are retrieved by using a ground-based CDWL. The MLH retrieval result at the marine site shows good agreement with radiosonde-derived MLH. After that, by using a ship-borne CDWL, the marine MLH along the ship\u2019s route in South China Sea is successfully detected in real time.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14030745","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,6]],"date-time":"2022-02-06T20:38:40Z","timestamp":1644179920000},"page":"745","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Marine Mixed Layer Height Detection Using Ship-Borne Coherent Doppler Wind Lidar Based on Constant Turbulence Threshold"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Lu","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Space Science, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}]},{"given":"Jinlong","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Space Science, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}]},{"given":"Haiyun","family":"Xia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Space Science, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"},{"name":"Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"},{"name":"CAS Center for Excellence in Comparative Planetology, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}]},{"given":"Lijie","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Space Science, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}]},{"given":"Yunbin","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Earth and Space Science, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Stull, R.B.
