RISA Comparison of Mixing Depths Observed by Ground-Based Wind Profilers and an Airborne Lidar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Observations of the Temporal Evolution and Spatial Structure of the Gap Flow in the Wipp Valley on 2 and 3 October 1999
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Daytime Photochemical Pollutant Transport over a Tributary Valley Lake in Southwestern British Columbia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Implications of Small-Scale Flow Features to Modeling Dispersion over Complex Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
A Bad Air Day in Houston
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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. ...
Smoke-Column Observations from Two Forest Fires Using Doppler Lidar and Doppler Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Comparison between the TOPAZ Airborne Ozone Lidar and In Situ Measurements during TexAQS 2006
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Lidar Investigation of Atmosphere Effect on a Wind Turbine Wake
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Development and Application of a Compact, Tunable, Solid-State Airborne Ozone Lidar System for Boundary Layer Profiling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/Earth System Research Laboratory/Chemical Sciences Division (NOAA/ESRL/CSD) has developed a versatile, airborne lidar system for measuring ozone and aerosols in the boundary ...
Spatial Variability of Winds and HRRR–NCEP Model Error Statistics at Three Doppler-Lidar Sites in the Wind-Energy Generation Region of the Columbia River Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAnnually and seasonally averaged wind profiles from three Doppler lidars were obtained from sites in the Columbia River basin of east-central Oregon and Washington, a major region of wind-energy production, for the ...
