RISEvaluation of Modeled Stratocumulus-Capped Boundary Layer Turbulence with Shipborne Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: umerically modeled turbulence simulated by the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting Model (ARW) is evaluated with turbulence measurements from NOAA?s high-resolution Doppler lidar on the NOAA Research Vessel ...
Platform-Motion Correction of Velocity Measured by Doppler Lidar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The NOAA/Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) has two coherent Doppler lidar systems that have been deployed on board research vessels to obtain data during several experiments. The instruments measure the wind velocity ...
Turbulent Velocity-Variance Profiles in the Stable Boundary Layer Generated by a Nocturnal Low-Level Jet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Profiles of mean winds and turbulence were measured by the High Resolution Doppler lidar in the strong-wind stable boundary layer (SBL) with continuous turbulence. The turbulence quantity measured was the variance of the ...
Doppler Lidar–Based Wind-Profile Measurement System for Offshore Wind-Energy and Other Marine Boundary Layer Applications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ccurate measurement of wind speed profiles aloft in the marine boundary layer is a difficult challenge. The development of offshore wind energy requires accurate information on wind speeds above the surface at least at the ...
Ship-Based Observations of the Diurnal Cycle of Southeast Pacific Marine Stratocumulus Clouds and Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he diurnal cycle of marine stratocumulus in cloud-topped boundary layers is examined using ship-based meteorological data obtained during the 2008 Variability of American Monsoon Systems (VAMOS) Ocean?Cloud?Atmosphere?Land ...
Lidar Measurement of Ammonia Concentrations and Fluxes in a Plume from a Point Source
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A field experiment was performed that demonstrated the ability of a scanning carbon dioxide (CO2) coherent lidar system to measure the concentration distribution of ammonia in a plume from a point source. This application ...
A Compact, Flexible, and Robust Micropulsed Doppler Lidar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This work details a master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) microjoule-class pulsed coherent Doppler lidar system configuration designed to measure line-of-sight wind velocities and backscatter intensity of atmospheric ...
Wind Energy Meteorology: Insight into Wind Properties in the Turbine-Rotor Layer of the Atmosphere from High-Resolution Doppler Lidar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: g the need for high-quality wind information aloft in the layer occupied by turbine rotors (~30?150 m above ground level) is one of many significant challenges facing the wind energy industry. Without wind measurements at ...
Measuring Coupled Fire–Atmosphere Dynamics: The California Fire Dynamics Experiment (CalFiDE)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
On Trade Wind Cumulus Cold Pools
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hallow precipitating cumuli within the easterly trades were investigated using shipboard measurements, scanning radar data, and visible satellite imagery from 2 weeks in January 2005 of the Rain in Cumulus over the Ocean ...
