Abstract: The cloud model of Tripoli and Cotton was used to simulate a cumulonimbus cloud observed during the Cooperative Convective Precipitation Experiment (CCOPE). We tested the sensitivity of the precipitation pathways in the ...

Abstract: In the traditional model of ridge-valley winds, there are typically two wind regimes on a dry day: a downslope, drainage wind at night due to cooling at the surface along the slopes, and an upslope wind during the day due ...

Abstract: The authors compare the mixing depths in the daytime convective boundary layers that were observed remotely by wind profilers and an airborne lidar during the 1995 Southern Oxidants Study. The comparison is used to determine ...

Abstract: The investigation of gap flow in the Wipp Valley (GAP project) is one of the objectives of the Mesoscale Alpine Programme (MAP). The valley runs south?north across the Brenner Pass, from Italy to Austria. The pass is the ...

Abstract: Tethersonde, lidar, aircraft, and surface chemistry measurements from an intensive field campaign (Pacific?93) in the Lower Fraser Valley (LFV) demonstrate the daytime advection of pollutants into a lake-filled valley ...

Abstract: Small-scale, topographically forced wind systems often have a strong influence on flow over complex terrain. A problem is that these systems are very difficult to measure, because of their limited spatial and temporal ...

Abstract: A case study from the Texas Air Quality Study 2000 field campaign illustrates the complex interaction of meteorological and chemical processes that produced a high-pollution event in the Houston area on 30 August 2000. ...

Abstract: To demonstrate the usefulness of active remote-sensing systems in observing forest fire plume behavior, we studied two fires, one using a 3.2-cm-wavelength Doppler radar, and one more extensively, using Doppler lidar. Both ...

Abstract: he NOAA airborne ozone lidar system [Tunable Optical Profiler for Aerosol and Ozone (TOPAZ)] is compared with the fast-response chemiluminescence sensor flown aboard the NOAA WP-3D during the 2006 Texas Air Quality Study ...

Abstract: n experimental study of the spatial wind structure in the vicinity of a wind turbine by a NOAA coherent Doppler lidar has been conducted. It was found that a working wind turbine generates a wake with the maximum velocity ...
