The application of covariance wavelet techniques (CWT) on lidar attenuated backscatter and radar wind profiler Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) profiles has been proven to be a useful method to determine the PBL height. One year of observations from a network of three 915-MHz boundary-layer radar wind profilers located in the state of Maryland (Beltsville, Cambridge, and Frostburg) were used to investigate the annual variability of the temporal and spatial distribution of the PBL heights and its correlation to meteorological parameters and conditions.
