“…Furthermore, the RASS profiles have typical resolutions of a few minutes which is too large to resolve the inertial subrange. In addition to radar, lidar techniques have also been used for turbulence studies: elastic backscatter lidar (Pal et al, , 2013, ozone differential absorption lidar (ozone DIAL) (Senff et al, 1996), Doppler lidar (e.g., Lenschow et al, 2000Lenschow et al, , 2012Wulfmeyer and Janjic, 2005;O'Connor et al, 2010;Träumner et al, 2015), water vapor differential absorption lidar (WV DIAL) (e.g., Senff et al, 1994;Kiemle et al, 1997;Wulfmeyer, 1999a;Lenschow et al, 2000;Muppa et al, 2015), and water vapor Raman lidar (e.g., Wulfmeyer et al, 2010;Turner et al, 2014a, b) have been employed or a combination of these techniques (e.g., Giez et al, 1999;Wulfmeyer, 1999b;Kiemle et al, 2007Kiemle et al, , 2011Behrendt et al, 2011a;Kalthoff et al, 2013). However, so far, profiling of turbulent temperature fluctuations with active remote sensing was missing.…”
