Abstract: Wind and turbulence profiles were analyzed during breezy, near-neutral conditions at the Boulder Atmospheric Observatory tower to quantify the effects of an abrupt 20- to 30-m increase in terrain located 3?5 km west of the ...

Abstract: The distribution of rainfall and other climatic variables is studied over sloping terrain surrounding Los Alamos in northern New Mexico. Long-term rainfall records and over 10 years of data measured routinely from a raingauge ...

Abstract: An array of three portable, pressurized ionization chambers (PICs) measured external radiation levels during 1986 and 1987 caused by radionuclides emitted from a 30-m stack of the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility (LAMPF). ...

Abstract: A long-term tracer study was conducted to evaluate dispersion in complex terrain in support of air quality and emergency response initiatives. An array of monitors continuously measured external radiation levels at different ...

Abstract: The vertical structures of turbulence, winds, and temperatures are analyzed from a 92-m instrumented tower and a collocated acoustic sodar during an outflow episode from a weak thunderstorm over sloping terrain in northern ...

Abstract: The potential effects of vertical wind direction shear on pollutant transport at a complicated, semiarid site are examined using tower measurements. This high-elevation site is situated on a sloping plateau between mountains ...
