Abstract: An improved version of a monostatic acoustic minisounder for the investigation of the structure and dynamics of the lower boundary layer, operating at high frequencies and equipped with a specially designed micro-antenna ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the influence of gaseous pollutants and aerosol on the spectral composition of various segments of the solar spectrum in cloudless conditions. This investigation is done by using data of the spectral ...

Abstract: Preliminary results from a series of experiments utilizing an acoustic sounder located at the top of a 1026 m mountain are presented which show some interesting features of the evolution of the atmospheric boundary layer.

Abstract: Experimental results of simultaneous measurements of temperature differences in the streamwise, lateral and vertical directions during convective, new-neutral and stable conditions in the atmospheric boundary layer of an ...

Abstract: An experimental campaign was carried out on a small Greek island that is characterized by complex terrain; its aim was to study the local characteristics of the vertical structure of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). ...

Abstract: Three methods for analyzing and modeling the global shortwave radiation reaching the earth?s surface are presented in this study. Solar radiation is a very important input for many aspects of climatology, hydrology, ...

Abstract: Observations of the vertical thermal and wind structure made in a large and broad valley are reported here. The growth of the convective boundary layer is found to be responsible for the destruction of the nocturnal ...
