abstract = {he planetary boundary layer (PBL) is the lowermost
 region of troposphere and is endowed with turbulent
 characteristics, which can have mechanical and/or thermodynamic
 origins. This behavior gives this layer great importance,
 mainly in studies about pollutant dispersion and
 weather forecasting. However, the instruments usually applied
 in studies of turbulence in the PBL have limitations
 in spatial resolution (anemometer towers) or temporal resolution
 (instrumentation aboard an aircraft). Ground-based
 remote sensing, both active and passive, offers an alternative
 for studying the PBL. In this study we show the capabilities
 of combining different remote sensing systems (microwave
 radiometer – MWR, Doppler lidar – DL – and elastic lidar
 – EL) for retrieving a detailed picture on the PBL turbulent
 features. The statistical moments of the high frequency distributions
 of the vertical wind velocity, derived from DL,
 and of the backscattered coefficient, derived from EL, are
 corrected by two methodologies, namely first lag correction
 and -2=3 law correction. The corrected profiles, obtained
 from DL data, present small differences when compared with
 the uncorrected profiles, showing the low influence of noise
 and the viability of the proposed methodology. Concerning
 EL, in addition to analyzing the influence of noise, we explore
 the use of different wavelengths that usually include
 EL systems operated in extended networks, like the European
 Aerosol Research Lidar Network (EARLINET),},
