Abstract
This study investigates the Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) dynamics over Taiwan's complex terrain using vehicle-based wind lidar. Results reveal significant spatial variability in aerosol distribution and wind patterns within the PBL, highlighting the influence of terrain on atmospheric dynamics. The LES simulations demonstrate the presence of mountainous terrain leads to significant convection occurring in both upper and lower boundary layers, promoting vertical mixing within the basin.
