Spatially Distributed Measurements of Platform Motion for the Correction of Ship-Based Turbulent Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method for determining the angular offsets between measurement axes for multiple motion sensing systems and a sonic anemometer using underway data is demonstrated. This enables a single angular rate sensor to be used ...
Finding Boundary Layer Top: Application of a Wavelet Covariance Transform to Lidar Backscatter Profiles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several recent studies have utilized a Haar wavelet covariance transform to provide automated detection of the boundary layer top from lidar backscatter profiles by locating the maximum in the covariance profiles. This ...
Aircraft Observations of Boundary Layer Rolls off the Coast of California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Large-scale horizontal rolls can have a significant influence on turbulent transport across the atmospheric boundary layer. The formation and maintenance of such rolls is dependent on the thermal and dynamic stability of ...
Observations of Strong Surface Radar Ducts over the Persian Gulf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ducting of microwave radiation is a common phenomenon over the oceans. The height and strength of the duct are controlling factors for radar propagation and must be determined accurately to assess propagation ranges. A ...
Arctic Summer Airmass Transformation, Surface Inversions, and the Surface Energy Budget
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the Arctic Clouds in Summer Experiment (ACSE) in summer 2014 a weeklong period of warm-air advection over melting sea ice, with the formation of a strong surface temperature inversion and dense fog, was observed. ...
A Compact Lightweight Aerosol Spectrometer Probe (CLASP)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Compact Lightweight Aerosol Spectrometer Probe (CLASP) is an optical particle spectrometer capable of measuring size-resolved particle concentrations in 16 user-defined size bins spanning diameters in the range 0.24 < ...
A Method for Estimating the Turbulent Kinetic Energy Dissipation Rate from a Vertically Pointing Doppler Lidar, and Independent Evaluation from Balloon-Borne In Situ Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method of estimating dissipation rates from a vertically pointing Doppler lidar with high temporal and spatial resolution has been evaluated by comparison with independent measurements derived from a balloon-borne sonic ...
