Abstract

The Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) was continuously monitored using Monostatic SODAR, which was conducted at CSIR-NPL, New Delhi. In this paper, an effort has been made to review the studies in the field of the structure of ABL using SODAR echograms in Delhi during a special observation period of the experiment. The change in weather conditions has found to have definite marks on the SODAR observed the structure of ABL. In particular, it has been seen that dot echoes and spiky top layered structures are different typical structures of the different seasons, which are associated with temperature, wind speed, and relative humidity. Also, the knowledge of these structures is great to use in air pollutant studies and dispersion models.
