Lidar data are compared with atmospheric thermodynamic parameters, soil temperature and humidity, solar radiation and balance in air determined by conventional means. The lidar data are presented as two-dimensional images of the variation of the back-scattered laser signals. 1 Introduction The object of the present work is the mesoscale phenomenon of sea breeze circulation. The specific aim of this study is to assess the lidar equipment capabilities in monitoring the formation o
