In this study, we propose a new ABLH retrieval method, which is named ADEILP (ABLH that is determined by polarization lidar); it is based on the short-term polarized lidar observation that took place during the intensive field campaign in July 2021 in Tazhong, the hinterland of Taklimakan Desert. Furthermore, we conducted comparisons between the ABLH that was identified using a radiosonde (ABLHsonde), the ABLH that was identified by ERA5 (ABLHERA5) and the ABHL that was identified by ADELIP (ABLHADELIP), and we discussed the implications of the dust events. The ADELIP method boasts remarkable advancements in two parts: (1) the lidar volume linear depolarization ratio (VLDR) that represented the aerosol type was adopted, which is very effective in distinguishing between the different types of boundary layers (e.g., mixing layer and residual layer); (2) the idea of breaking up the entire layer into sub-layers was applied on the basis of the continues wavelet transform (CWT) method, which is favorable when one is considering the effect of fine stratification in an aerosol layer. By combining the appropriate height limitations, these factors ensured that there was good robustness of the ADELIP method, thereby enabling it to deal with complex boundary layer structures. The comparisons revealed that ABLHADELIP shows good consistency with ABLHsonde and ABLHERA5 for non-dust events. Nevertheless, the ADELIP method overestimated the stable boundary layer and underestimated the heights of the mixing layer. The dust events seem to be a possible reason for the great difference between ABLHERA5 and ABLHsonde. Thus, it is worth suggesting that the influence that is caused by the differences of the vertical profile in the ERA5 product should be carefully considered when the issues on dust events are involved. Overall, these findings support the climatological analysis of the atmosphere boundary layer and the vertical distribution characteristics of aerosols over typical climatic zones.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14215436","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,30]],"date-time":"2022-10-30T09:01:42Z","timestamp":1667120502000},"page":"5436","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["A New Algorithm of Atmospheric Boundary Layer Height Determined from Polarization Lidar"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Bisen","family":"Han","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Semi-Arid Climate Change of the Ministry of Education, College of Atmospheric Sciences, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tian","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Semi-Arid Climate Change of the Ministry of Education, College of Atmospheric Sciences, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaowen","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Semi-Arid Climate Change of the Ministry of Education, College of Atmospheric Sciences, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuya","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Semi-Arid Climate Change of the Ministry of Education, College of Atmospheric Sciences, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianping","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Semi-Arid Climate Change of the Ministry of Education, College of Atmospheric Sciences, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"},{"name":"Collaborative Innovation Center for Western Ecological Safety, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qing","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Desert Meteorology, China Meteorological Administration, Urumqi 830002, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9312-0989","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhongwei","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Semi-Arid Climate Change of the Ministry of Education, College of Atmospheric Sciences, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"},{"name":"Collaborative Innovation Center for Western Ecological Safety, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Minzhong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Desert Meteorology, China Meteorological Administration, Urumqi 830002, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Stull, R.B.
