The knowledge of weather condition is crucial for aviation and turbulence is one of the meteorological phenomena with the greatest impact on air traffic safety. Ceilometers could be a valid support in airports for monitoring clouds and in general weather conditions. Furthermore, through the backscatter profile measured by them, it is possible to characterize the extension of the Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL), important for many aviation applications, being the atmospheric layer in which turbulent phenomena take place. For this reason, monitoring the mixing layer height (MLH) is a crucial issue to improve turbulence measurement for flight support. In this work, an algorithm for MLH retrieval has been developed using the backscatter profile measured by the Campbell Scientific CS135 Ceilometer, acquired by CIRA in the framework of a project to enhance weather awareness during the flight.
