Abstract: Several aspects of canopy flow are investigated. The problem of steady flow in a horizontally infinite canopy under neutral thermal stratification is treated theoretically. The resulting analytical model is then used as a ...

Abstract: Hourly tethered-balloon wind soundings from the 650-m deep, narrow, Brush Creek Valley of Colorado are analyzed to determine the nocturnal atmospheric mass (or volume) budget of the valley. Under the assumption that the ...

Abstract: Thermally driven local circulation in valleys has been studied for many years with the result that the underlying physics are reasonably well understood. ASCOT experiments of the early 1980s were formulated to help quantify ...

Abstract: In response to a recognized need for an inexpensive, low power, portable lidar for meteorological applications in remote areas, a system has been designed and constructed. The lidar, termed MELS (Mini-Environmental Lidar ...

Abstract: TIROS cloud photographs and fine-scale quasi-geostrophic calculations of vertical motion are used in an attempt to gain understanding of the evolution of vertices and other aspects of large-scale cloud masses and to explore ...

Abstract: During the late summer of 1985 a field experiment was conducted to investigate mountaintop winds over a broad area of the Rocky Mountains extending from south central Wyoming through northern New Mexico. The principal ...
