RISThe Spatial and Temporal Variations of the Turbulent Fluxes of Heat, Momentum and Water Vapor over Lake Ontario
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the 1972 IFYGL ?alert? periods, the NOAA/RFF/DC-6 gust probe instrumented aircraft was used to record time series of wind, temperature and water vapor at heights ranging from 18 to 300 m above the surface of Lake ...
Climatological Usefulness of Satellite Determined Sea-Surface Temperatures in the Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two different satellite estimates of sea-surface temperature (SST) have been compared with observed temperature sections in the central tropical Pacific Ocean. The satellite products were found to be biased with respect ...
Waves Observed in the Planetary Boundary Layer using an Array of Acoustic Sounders
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three acoustic sounders, with antennas having vertically-pointed beams located at the vertices of a triangle about 300 m on a side, have been used successfully to calculate horizontal phase velocities of gravity waves in ...
Observations of Helmholtz Waves in the Lower Atmosphere with an Acoustic Sounder
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Acoustic probing of the lower atmosphere (<150 m) reveals structures that appear similar to those of instability waves produced by wind shear at the stable interface of a temperature inversion. The acoustic sounder was ...
An Analysis of Airborne Measurements of Vertical Water Vapor Flux During BOMEX
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The initial analysis of the water vapor flux measurements taken onboard a NOAA DC-6 during the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment (BOMEX) is presented. The flux of water vapor seems to be constant in the ...
