Abstract Coherent Doppler lidars are traditionally used to measure wind speed in the atmospheric boundary layer. However, in addition to wind speed data, coherent Doppler lidars are a source of information on the distribution of the aerosol particle concentration in the atmosphere, which makes it possible to measure the height of the planetary boundary layer, to determine the cloud base and the number of cloud layers, as well as information on the distribution of aerosols along the path or in the scanning sector. The paper considers algorithms for processing data from coherent Doppler lidars to obtain comprehensive information about the parameters of the atmospheric boundary layer. The results of experimental studies and their analysis are presented.
