A High-Resolution Ionic Anemometer for Boundary-Layer Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new high-resolution ionic anemometer was constructed using inexpensive electronics. Calibration and data procedures are outlined and preliminary results of field trials are given. The detection limit is better than 10?2 ...
The External Scale of Clear Air Turbulence Derived from the Vertical Ozone Profile: Application to Vertical Transport Measurement
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using a high-resolution stratospheric ozonometer it has been possible to obtain vertical ozone profiles in which microfluctuations may be interpreted as the consequence of eddy diffusion. Applying Kolmogoroff's theory to ...
On the Measurement of the Turbulence Dissipation Rate from Rising Balloons
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper we analyze the feasibility of turbulence measurements below a rising balloon. From a typical case study we show the ability of the helisonde, hung below a large diameter balloon, to resolve the vertical profile ...
