Sugimoto, N., Matsui, I., Shimizu, A., Pinandito, M. and Sugondo, S. (2000). Climatological characteristics of cloud distribution and planetary boundary layer structure in Jakarta, Indonesia revealed by lidar observation. Geophysical Research Letters 27: doi: 10.1029/2000GL011544. issn: 0094-8276.

For two years we observed the vertical distribution of clouds and aerosols in Jakarta, Indonesia, with ground-based Mie scattering lidars. A histogram of the cloud base height shows a notable maximum at an altitude of approximately 5 km, especially in the wet season. The planetary boundary layer height we inferred from the upper boundary of the aerosol layer was approximately 1.5--2 km in the wet season and 2--3 km in the dry season. ¿ 2000 American Geophysical Union
