Multifractal structures, previously named \u201claminar channels\u201d, have been identified in atmospheric profiles\u2014these exhibit cellular and self-structuring properties, and are spatially ordered across the atmospheric profile. Furthermore, these structures have been connected to the spontaneous emergence of turbulent behavior in the calm atmospheric flow. Calculating the location and occurrence of these channels can help identify features of atmospheric evolution, such as the development of the planetary boundary layer (PBL). Employing this theoretical background to atmospheric lidar data, attempts are made to confirm this suggestion and extract information about atmospheric structure and evolution by analyzing turbulent vortex scale dynamics and scale-corresponding Lyapunov exponents that form the basis of identifying the laminar channels in atmospheric lidar profiles. A parameter named \u201cscale laminarity index\u201d is then introduced, which quantifies the relation between vortex scale and chaoticity throughout the profile. Finally, the algorithmic methods employed in this study are described and distributed for future use.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22010158","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,28]],"date-time":"2021-12-28T06:20:43Z","timestamp":1640672443000},"page":"158","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The Search for Atmospheric Laminar Channels: Experimental Results and Method Dissemination"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6322-021X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Iulian-Alin","family":"Ro\u0219u","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Physics, \u201cAlexandru Ioan Cuza\u201d University of Iasi, Bulevardul Carol I 11, 700506 Iasi, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Physics, \u201cGheorghe Asachi\u201d Technical University of Iasi, 700050 Iasi, Romania"}]},{"given":"Drago\u0219-Constantin","family":"Nica","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, Faculty of Geography and Geology, \u201cAlexandru Ioan Cuza\u201d University of Iasi, Bulevardul Carol I 11, 700506 Iasi, Romania"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9027-1167","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C\u0103t\u0103lin","family":"Dumitra\u0219","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Machine Manufacturing and Industrial Managements, \u201cGheorghe Asachi\u201d Technical University of Iasi, 700050 Iasi, Romania"}]},{"given":"Drago\u0219","family":"Chitariu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Machine Manufacturing and Industrial Managements, \u201cGheorghe Asachi\u201d Technical University of Iasi, 700050 Iasi, Romania"}]},{"given":"Lumini\u021ba","family":"Bibire","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, \u201cVasile Alecsandri\u201d University of Bac\u0103u, 600115 Bacau, Romania"}]},{"given":"Adrian Stelian","family":"Ghenadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Systems and Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, \u201cVasile Alecsandri\u201d University of Bac\u0103u, 600115 Bacau, Romania"}]},{"given":"Valentin-Stelian","family":"Dragan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Physics, \u201cAlexandru Ioan Cuza\u201d University of Iasi, Bulevardul Carol I 11, 700506 Iasi, Romania"}]},{"given":"Maricel","family":"Agop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, \u201cGheorghe Asachi\u201d Technical University of Iasi, 700050 Iasi, Romania"},{"name":"Romanian Scientists Academy, 050094 Bucharest, Romania"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"335","DOI":"10.1063\/1.4822633","article-title":"Dynamics of Complex Systems (Studies in Nonlinearity)","volume":"12","author":"McKay","year":"1998","journal-title":"Comput.
