. Sunshine and precipitation on the same day
The features during sunshine and precipitation periods are largely different,
due mainly to the difference in relative humidity and temperature. The
transition in a relatively short time period leads to a large-scale, vertical
fluctuation.
6.3.1
. Summer case
Under such a situation, the cloud base height rapidly moves up and down.
Figure 7 shows the lidar data on 7 September, 2004. Rapid fluctuation of
cloud occurs in an altitude range between 0.5 and 2.5 km. On that day, a
